The total electrical load for the Dunedin Exhibition in 1924-25 was 1,200 kilowatts An estimate of the peak load for ihe Centennial Exhibition is more than 15.000 kilowatts, which gives some indication of the vast amount of electrical wiring and equipment that will be in use during the Exhibition. The majority of the cable used in the Exhibition for the electrical installation is of stranded wire, and is the equivalent of 2.233 miles of ordinary house wiring. The electrical equipment of the Exhibition would be capable of servicing a city with a population of 25.000. At night, the great flood of multi-coloured light which will drench the buildings of the Exhibition will be visible for miles around. Light, colour and water all play their part in creating the dazzling spectacle which will be the Exhibition at night.
