The North West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority was a United Kingdom statutory body established in 1929 with the responsibility to "provide or secure the provision of a cheap and abundant supply of electricity” in parts of the Midland counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. The Authority acquired electricity in bulk from electricity undertakings for distribution, and operated power stations. The Authority was abolished upon nationalisation of the British electricity industry in 1948.
