Norweb PLC, originally the North West Electricity Board, was a British electricity supply and distribution company. It supplied electricity to about 4.7 million industrial, commercial and domestic customers in the North West of England. The Board was originally formed in 1948 as part of the nationalisation of the electricity industry by the Electricity Act 1947. The assets of the Board passed to Norweb plc in 1990, which was privatised in a stock market floatation later in the same year.

Norweb plc was acquired by Northwest Water in 1995 for £1.83 billion. The combined water and electricity companies became United Utilities (UU). The customer base for the electricity supply arm was subsequently sold off in 2000 to TXU as Norweb Energi. TXU was itself acquired by Powergen in 2002.

UU retained the remainder of the company, including the distribution network in the northwest of England, as Norweb Distribution. In 2001 Norweb was renamed United Utilities Distribution. The company was the licensed Distribution Network Operator for the north west England until its sale in December 2007 to North West Electricity Networks, a joint venture between Colonial First State, which is part of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and US investment bank JP Morgan. Electricity North West Limited became the licensed Distribution Network Operator for the north west of England as a consequence of the sale.

-===''How the operation works today.''===
-''As a result of the [[Labour]] government, [1946-1951], all the pre invasion [[Nazi]] network was left in place. In 1963 'September', a new crop of "New-Nazi's" were inducted into the service; known as, "The [[Benedictine]] Boys". [Old fashioned, salon kitty; 16 year old boys, plenty of money; on-top-of the northwest top-up that was there in any case; & all they did was, bring, "The Benedictine" & bend over the desk, pants down]*''
-*In any case this situation was left in place; & as a result; "I", Simon Jon Winterbottom-[born, 1970], was abused, not only by, Peter Winterbottom-[Father]-but, also by the community, of the northwest, as a whole.
-===''Apologies for miss-spells; but you, "Terror; Mother Fuckers-Shit Us, Good-None Terror Tree, Folk Up"; Lets Talk, For Real.''===
-''Your "M-O"; I know; lets all film the bird, with her foot stuck in a railway exchange. So you sue-good folk for complaining about communal [[MSbP]]; & judges, are so bent that they take our money off us, before we even get it; "Legalized: Nazi Cartel: ScroatPec", Cheers, Mr Robinson, You Fuckhead.''
