Work and Events / Sheepscot Power Infrastructure
« on: May 30, 2021, 06:37:04 PM »
An admission: I have an almost obsessive interest in the plans for providing electrical power to all parts of the Sheepscot campus. I applauded the completion of the electrical building which Zach and Brendan have built, which is a major first step. I would like to start a thread to follow the centralization of power through the electrical building, the provision of power to the Engine House and the Carbarn/Museum, the completion of underground power to Percival House and other existing buildings, etc.
As I understand it, the basic concept is that 1) all power to Sheepscot will come through the electrical building from a direct download from Maine Central Power, and 2) power distribution to the entire rest of the campus will be through underground conduits to all major buildings.
I am starting this thread to begin an ongoing discussion about what already exists, what is planned for both the immediate and long-term future, and progress updates on all of those. It’s sort of invisible, but (as infrastructure usually is) crucial to our future. Any and all contributions welcome.
