first pole with light is PEPCOs, and the next two are BGE truss arms....See how the power lines on top separates....that is because those two are powered by different electrical companies, and the electrical companies installs their own streetlights on their own wooden poles in most cases in the USA!
The Two Seprate lines at the top lead to underground Feeders that run down the pole in conduit...they usually go to Transformers mounted in Pad Locked Boxes.
yeah but it is also the "END POINT" of PEPCO.....because ahead is a line of high voltage from BGE's power plants....completely different electric company...most likely the building on the left is being powered by PEPCO....with the ends of the line...
Another thing I've always observed is usually PEPCO powerlines are darker in color and usually taller while the BGEs are lighter in color and usually shorter...and of course PEPCO has a lot more smaller sized cobraheads on braced or guyed arms!
look at the streetlights......two different electrical companies here........
in this point.....this is the last pole owned by PEPCO and the first pole owned by BGE.....if you LOOK carefully...you'll see a another line on the top of a shorter pole that powers the two truss arms.....reason why it isn't connected to the streetlight in the very front is because the very front is owned by PEPCO...not BGE.....and the primary lines on the top is PEPCOs...not BGE...that's another reason why it did not continue to the next poles...........you will see the same thing in my other pictures in my album on the streetlight battles......
To make it easier to understand...in this exact picture...I was driving....and I was crossing the electrical company territory.....
I was crossing...getting out of the green area into the yellow land! Simple? The front powerline had a pole mark (a metalic plate with pole numbers) and it had "PEPCO" on the plate...the next pole has "BGE" on it and every pole from here all the way to the border of MD/PA will all have "BGE" on it....BGE stop at the border of MD and PA.......PEPCO in MD continues in Washington DC....until you cross a bridge to VA....

and what kind of power plant is it?...like what kind of fuel does it burn or is it solar or wind?
