Whoa! GOOD ONE! So the Median and the right side is owned by SCE but the left is LADWP huh? And yet that Median is being powered by LADWP instead of the one on the right eh? HOW WEIRD!!! GOOD ONE NICE FIND! FIVE STARS!!!!

Even BGE wouldn't power ONE PEPCO light and bypasses the wires...see here as a great example

@Michael there are two in Rhode Island. A small area in northwestern RI has a small co-op and they have lots of Durastars, ugh! Previously there were 4 utilities such as Blackstone Valley Electric in Pawtucket and Woonsocket but they merged into National Grid.

California has 40 electric utilities ranging from city owned municipal utilities to big investor owned utilities such as PG&E and SCE.

@ Dave, that is Pacoag Electric, but they are fed from National Grid.

Try RI and Connectiut border! I saw the Massachuttes and Connecitcut border and even NY and Conn. border...I saw between Conn and Mass....Mass had truss arms and as soon you get to Conn you see A frame and single guy arms

@ Jace, i don't go near the Connecticut/Rhode Island border. i have no reason to. Southeastern Mass and RI are both powered by N-Grid

@ mike, not all of southeastern Mass is national grid, towns just east of fall river area and points toward cape cod is all NSTAR and also a bunch of stuff toward Boston as well.

Is it easy to tell in Southeastern Mass by looking at streetlight poles/arms??? Or will you need to look at the pole tags

Antstar85

[Oct 06, 2011 at 02:52 AM]

Tags will be the best way there but here in western mass you can tell just by the poles.

I meant the Reoboth area and Attleboro area and places around there.

Hmm a fight between two utilities or not?

The poles on the left are LADWP territory, and it powers the light on the right which is owned by SCE. What gives?! This is right on the border between South LA and Ladera Heights, an unincorporated community in LA county and is served by SCE.
