Cottage Distribution Substation - Moss Vale, NSW - Historic Transformer Sub-Stations Buildings on Waymarking.com

Moss Vale was the third town in the Colony of New South Wales to have an electric light system after Tamworth and Young. A private company, Wood and Co., won the tender to provide electric lighting to public streets and private homes in 1899. In 1909, Council took over the electric light plant. This substation was built as a cottage distribution station in 1936 by Wingecarribee Shire Council (hence the WSC inscription in the frieze). It was decommissioned circa 2006.

The substation building is well maintained & forms part of the Moss Vale self guided walking tour published by the Wingecarribee Shire Council.

I obtained the above information about the substation from the guide which is a PDF document found here: (visit link)
