The Peel Godred Power Company is a subsidiary of the British Aluminium Company responsible for the hydroelectric power plant at Peel Godred. The plant supplies the current for the Peel Godred Branch Line.[1]
History[]
In 1923, the Peel Godred Power Company was established as a subsidiary of the British Aluminium Company to build a hydroelectric dam harnessing the power of the three lakes: Corloey, Dubbyn Moar and Loey Machan.[1] They were also responsible for funding half of the construction of the Peel Godred Branch Line (with the North Western Railway funding the other half) in order to transport bulky equipment to their site, as the Mid Sodor Railway's small size would be inadequate for the task.[2]
