Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulously researched historical record and spirited first-person account on the early development of electric central-station service. It brings together the published addresses and writings of Samuel Insull, an entrepreneur who played a prominent role in the evolution of providing electricity as a commodity for households and industries. The addresses offer an engaging glimpse into the late 19th and early 20th-century development of the electric-power industry, including systems of power generation and distribution, the early role of companies in offering central-station service, and the issues and opportunities involved in structuring a business model for widespread supply of this essential service. The author provides a perspective on the importance of monopoly, economies of scale, rate-setting, and the public's need for reliable and affordable electric power, all of which remain essential facets of the industry today.
