Born in Lympley Stoke, Bath, Somerset and educated at the Great Yarmouth High School. He joined the CEGB and was heavily involved in the 275 kV and 400 kV Supergrid in the department of the Transmission Project Group. He married Laura Judith Tallent Draper in Marylebone Middlesex 1939.[2] At the inception of the first 2000 MW power station West Burton in 1969 Arthur was then in charge of the CEGB Midlands Region based in Moseley Birmingham. He was made chairman of the CEGB in 1972 preceded by Sir Stanley Brown and proceeded by Glyn England in 1977. In June 1976 he was awarded the OBE as Chairman of the CEGB.[3] After retirement he served as a director with the Community of St Andrew Trust at Lincoln's Inn, London. He is survived by his son Andrew Hawkins and daughter Ruth Hawkins. After privatisation of the industry in 1991 commentators made the link to the lack of British energy policy to the days of the CEGB ‘Oh for the glory days of Sir Arthur Hawkins and the Central Electricity Generating Board. I never thought I'd say that about an organisation that seemed, at the time, to embody the very worst aspects of post-war corporatism and central government planning. But compared with the abject chaos into which British energy policy has descended since privatisation, the absolute rule of the CEGB seems a paragon of virtue.’[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Lost 'alumini'|url=https://alumni.surrey.ac.uk/sslpage.aspx?pid=1003&frcrld=1|website=Forever Surrey – University of Surrey|accessdate=1 July 2015}} {{s-start}}{{S-bus}}{{s-bef|before=Sir Stanley Brown}}{{s-ttl|title=Chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board|years=1972–1977}}{{s-aft|after=Glyn England}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hawkins, Sir Arthur}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Ollivier|first1=Kim|title=Family Tree|url=http://users.iconz.co.nz/kimo/family_tree/d0001/g0000036.htm#I875|website=ollivier.co.nz}} 3. ^{{cite journal|title=Supplement|journal=The London Gazette|date=4 June 1976|volume=46919|page=8016|url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/46919/supplement/8016}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Warner|first1=Jeremy|title=The Government's energy policy leaves everyone in the dark|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/jeremy-warner/8621631/The-Governments-energypolicy-leaves-everyone-in-the-dark.html|publisher=Daily Telegraph|accessdate=6 July 2011|year=2011}} 5 : 1913 births|1999 deaths|English electrical engineers|Knights Bachelor|Officers of the Order of the British Empire |
