12 members of the Technology and Science group visited the Scottish Power control centre in Prenton last Wednesday. We were given a most excellent presentation by Jon and Sue that covered topics including the generation, power distribution networks, outages and call centre activity.
We were then shown around the ‘control room’ and given a close display of the Maghull area network by Kevin, who fielded all our questions.
We finished with Sue and a Q+A session regarding outages and their effects.
Thanks to all the staff and to Bill for organising the day.
