Energetic

An old and still used electricity substation at Post Office Place in city of Adelaide. The Adelaide Electric Supply Company Limited existed from 1905 to 1947.

An extract from wikipedia….

The Electricity Trust of South Australia (ETSA) was created by South Australian Liberal and Country League (LCL) premier Tom Playford through the nationalisation of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company (AESC) in 1946.

Before then it was a private company (with headquarters in London) which held a monopoly over electricity supplies in Adelaide at the time. It was the company’s refusal to use brown coal as advocated by Playford, even going to the extent of buying black coal only boilers, which triggered the request from Playford for commonwealth funds to nationalise the company – Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley readily agreed.
