Scouts Visit Power Station

Hudson Cub Scouts were given a tour of the station’s engines, switching boards and lighted circuit maps showing the distribution system.  They also learned how electricity is metered, with light bulbs used to show how a higher wattage unit turns an electric meter dial faster than an energy–savings type bulb. For photos of the event, visit www.hudsonlight.com. Not only is the Power Station an important  asset in the Department’s generation portfolio, it is also a valuable educational tool for the community. Scouting or other youth group leaders interested in a free tour of the power station can contact Customer Service at 978-568-8736. Click on the photos below to see larger version.
