| | Event Recap: Tour of Albion Hydroelectric Plant | | |
On June 5, NSPE-MA members and non-member guests experienced a free presentation and tour of the Albion Hydroelectric Plant in Cumberland, RI – an operating small-scale river-powered hydroelectric plant that generates 2,034 megawatt hours of electricity annually.
NSPE-MA Director Anthony Morreale, PE, Principal Engineer with LIG Consultants served as presenter. He discussed how small-scale hydroelectric projects are designed, constructed, and operated, and led a tour of site features such as the two Archimedes screw turbines with an installed capacity of 430 kilowatts. NSPE-MA is grateful to David Cardinale, Plant Manager, for hosting this unique professional development event.
| | August 6: PE Day Celebrates Licensure and the Profession | |
You're invited to join PEs worldwide and celebrate Professional Engineers Day on Wednesday August 6, 2025! Professional Engineers make a difference every day by ensuring that the profession delivers on its obligation to deliver safe, ethical, and skilled engineering services to the public.

PE Day is our chance to tell the story of what it means to be a PE, recognize the work of licensed PEs, and lift up all the ways PEs provide value to the public, to clients, and to society.
Save the date and be part of the online virtual event using the hashtag #LicensedPEday on LinkedIn and other social media! Post your on-site photos and selfies; share your reasons for being a PE; and recognize your colleagues and teams.
