History

Electricity

Hull's electricity needs were once provided by the 'Yorkshire Electricity Board' (as of 1948). However, after Margaret Thatcher and her government passed privatisation, in 1990 it became the 'Yorkshire Electricity Group plc'. It was then acquired by two US companies called 'American Electric Power' (AEP) and 'Public Service Company of Colorado' (part of Xcel Energy). In 2001 Innogy plc bought 94.75% of the company which would become Npower after the RWE takeover.

Gas

As of 1948, Hull's gas was supplied by 'North Eastern Gas Board'; however, in 1972 it became an area of the British Gas Corporation.
