The article presents an idea to build a district big power station in Łódź. A big modern electric power station was supposed to supply electric energy to the whole region and to become an element of the national network. What is more, all those plans had had been devised before the first world war, when Łódź was part of the Russian Empire. They were made in the offices of the 1886 Electric Lighting Association, a tycoon in the Russian electric industry, connected with the Concern of Siemens & Halske, Deutsche Bank and some Swiss holding companies. The idea was expected to be realised after regaining independence, yet it was later rejected because the municipal authorities of Łódź wanted to take over the property of the existing power station by virtue of a concession contract with the above-mentioned company. Even later no power station was built because of the increasing statism of the Second Republic and the idea of electrification prepared by the American Company Harriman et co was also killed. The text has been based on archive documents and specialised literature concerning the subject in question.
