Embrey Hydroelectric Powerplant Light Show Aerial Footage -

To celebrate the life of the Embrey Hydroelectric Power Plant and its new chapter Fredericksburg, Va held a one night only lights and sound show put on by the City's own master of lights and sound DJ Bill Carroll. Brief history on the plant: Desperate for economic growth, following the Civil War, Fredericksburg embraced the technological innovation of hydroelectricity. In 1887, a local firm converted an old grist mill near the Falmouth Bridge to an electric generating plant. In 1901, the local government built its own hydroelectric facility, calling it the City Electric Light Works. The municipal power plant remained in operation until 1919. lts output, however, was direct current (DC), which has a limited range. The more substantial Embrey Power Station, constructed in 1910, generated alternating current (AC), which can be transmitted greater distances. It provided electric power well beyond the city limits. Electrification had a profound impact on the area's industrial development. Factories could be removed from places susceptible to river flooding and built closet to rail connections and roadways. The Embrey Plant closed in the 1960s, when a nuclear plant became operational on the North Anna River. (source http://www.historicalmarkerproject.co...) The plant has been abandon since 1979 and in the recent time has been purchase by Ed Whelan and will be turned in to a new local restaurant in the come months. #IAmACreator Help me create more by check out my Patreon:   / eagelonephotography   Good For You by THBD   / thbdsultan   Music provided by AudioKing https://goo.gl/Xvx1Xg Take it Easy By MBB Music provided by AudioKing https://goo.gl/Xvx1Xg
