Renwick Municipal Electric System Historical Overview
The Renwick Municipal Electric System evolved from a small town plant started in 1915 to serve homes and local industries. It expanded from a steam setup to diesel engines, reaching 725 horsepower with a 483 kilovolt-amp capacity, powering the Boone Valley and Farmers Co-op associations, a Creamery, elevators and a hatchery, and funding advances through bond retirements and municipal lighting.
