Tour
of Salem Electric Department
Presented
by: Mr. A.K. Briele III, Director of Salem Electric Department
Abstract
While
many electric power customers are serviced by large investor-owned
utilities like AEP and Dominion, many customers are also
serviced by local power cooperatives and also by electric
departments of various municipalities. This presentation
will showcase the engineering challenges of providing power
to the residents of a municipality, the City of Salem. A
brief outline of the meeting follows.
