Richmond Power & Light has an exhibit at the Wayne County Historical
Museum displaying many old pictures and pieces of equipment. The
project was led by Roger Bauer, Distribution Engineer, and Harry
Phillips, Energy Services Director. They invited employees and retirees
to join in the effort to create an outstanding exhibit that even
showcases an RP&L light pole with the original transformer,
which is dated 1919. |
