Paper presented at the Australasian Engineering Heritage Conference (3rd: 2009 : Dunedin).

Abstract

This paper traces the commencement of public electricity supply in Melbourne in 1882, placing it in the vanguard of similar developments worldwide. The subsequent participation of other private enterprise ventures and the entry of the Melbourne City Council into the field are then outlined, along with the range of electricity supply technologies that were successively adopted - from high voltage series DC, single-phase AC, low-voltage DC to three-phase AC.
