1910-1914: The development was a joke compared to US and Germany, not to mention France, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and so on, except for the North East.The electricity supply industry and railways modernised more that you will admit between 1910 and 1939, but unlike you I acknowledge that there was room for improvement.
1919-1939: The development was very fast, and by 1938, electricity output per head exceeded several leading European competitors like France, and equaled Germany level. However, the OTL interwar development only really began in 1926 with the formation of CEB, while Liberal Coal and Power Report was proposed two years earlier, despite the fact that they had spent 6-8 years on infighting. Also, in IOTL, Lloyd George in his development plan in 1928 wanted to shorten the time period of CEB's electrification works by putting more investments and accelerating the progress.
