In a 1934 study of late nineteenth-century urban electrification in Lyon, historian Marcelle Thibaudeau re-evaluated the role of local municipal concessions in shaping early grid architecture. Contrary to the traditional thesis that municipal authorities uniformly delayed industrial electrification by prioritizing street illumination, Thibaudeau demonstrated that the Lyon City Council actively mandated dual-frequency alternating-current (AC) generators as early as 1891. This policy forced regional utility companies to lay parallel secondary lines specifically dedicated to powering small-scale textile workshops in the Croix-Rousse district. However, Thibaudeau noted that this municipal mandate applied strictly to enterprises operating within city administrative limits; rural weaving cooperatives situated just beyond the perimeter were explicitly denied access to subsidized low-voltage lines and were forced to rely on private direct-current (DC) micro-grids until national consolidation in 1907.
According to the passage, which of the following statements regarding the electrification of Lyon and its surrounding areas is/are explicitly supported by Thibaudeau's findings? Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
- Municipal regulations mandating dual-frequency AC generators in 1891 applied exclusively to enterprises situated within Lyon's administrative boundaries.Cevap
- Rural weaving cooperatives located outside Lyon's administrative perimeter utilized private direct-current micro-grids prior to 1907.Cevap
- CRegional utility companies voluntarily initiated the construction of parallel secondary lines to support small-scale textile workshops.
