Początki rozwoju elektrotechniki w Galicji i w Przemyślu sięgają końcówki XIX w. Najwcześniej pojawiła się nowa technika we Lwowie. Już w 1882 r. stałe oświetlenie lampami łukowymi zainstalowano w Sali Poselskiej w gmachu Galicyjskiego Sejmu Krajowego we Lwowie [1]. Pierwsze elektrownie w Galicji powstały: we Lwowie w 1893 r. na potrzeby zasilania trakcji tramwajowej, - w Nowym Targu w 1895 r. na potrzeby młyna i tartaku, w Przemyślu w 1896 r. – dla zasilania oświetlenia ulicznego Starego Miasta [3].

The origins of the development of electrical engineering in Galicia and Przemysl date back to the late 19th century. The first developments come from Lviv and concern the permanent illumination by arc lamps installed in the Deputies' Hall in the building of the Galician National Sejm in Lviv [1]. The first power plants in Galicia were established successively: in Lviv in 1893 to power the tramway traction, then in Nowy Targ in 1895 for a mill and sawmill, another in Przemysl in 1896. - to power the street lighting of the Old Town [3]. The history of electrification of the city of Przemysl began in 1895. [6]. This is how the history of the electrification of Przemysl began; at first direct current was used, only in the new power plant in the 1920s 6.3 kV generators were put into operation and a network of transformer stations connected by underground cables was built. From 1907, the power plant took the name “Municipal Electric Plant in Przemysl” (MZE).
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.
