City and Potomac Edison share street light power use
City engineers estimate saving 9,000 to 10,000 gallons of diesel oil over three months by sharing power requirements with Potomac Edison for street lights. The plan halves oil use at the light plant while supplying about half the current at one cent per kilowatt hour, with annual consumption around 67,000 gallons and 732,900 kWh produced last year before repairs.
