It appaears that the first electrical power plant was installed in Godalming in Britain. --Sean Brunnock 20:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes that is a correct statement of the facts, but the article goes on to say that the Pearl Street Station was the second in the world. This I am afraid is not so. Edison also built a plant in London near to Holborn Viaduct which was generating and supplying electricity to a number of customers in early January 1882. In February 1882 Hammond in Brighton started generating electricity to a number of consumers. When the Pearl Street Station began generating in September 1882, it was the fourth in the world if we are to keep things in a chronological order. --Aquizard 00:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
