Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly compiles data on the gas and electrical supply industries in New York City from 1908 to 1916. The author organizes the report around three primary areas of analysis: a comparison of gas and electricity supply, manufacturing and distribution system capacity, and consumption of both gas and electricity. Through various tables and charts, the author illustrates the relative importance of the electrical industry alongside the declining use of gas in the early 20th century. Annual sales of electricity grew exponentially, with a 174% increase from 1908 to 1916, while gas sales increased only 30% over the same period. The author attributes this to the increase in the use of electricity by private consumers and the electrification of railways. Despite a reduction in the selling price of electricity, the gas companies found their average prices held steady due to a decrease in municipal use. The authorâs analysis underscores the fundamental changes within New York Cityâs energy landscape during this period, as electricity swiftly replaced gas as the primary source of energy for lighting, power, and transportation.
