As Natural Gas Supplies
Grow Shorter, CPL
Continues Moves to Other
Fuels.
We offer a complete line of
SECOND HOME COTTAGES
Events of the severe winter |ust past
have confirmed, in unmistakable
terms, three of the more distressing
facts of our time:
The natural gas shortage is here now.
It is a nationwide problem.
The davs of inexpensive natural gas
are gone
The Texas Railroad Commission
recognized the shortage two years
ago and ruled that deliveries of nat-
ural gas used for making electricity
must be reduced—10 percent by *
1981, and 25 percent bv 1985.
Further evidence that the gas short-
age is real is the extensive building
program now being conducted by
Central Power and Light Company.
In order to continue reliable service,
CPL began its planning seven years
ago to turn to fuels other than gas
for production of electricity Bv the
mid- I980's, 40% of our electricity
will come from coal-fired and nu-
clear plants
Coleto Creek Power Station, our firs^
coal-fired unit, is being built now,
and will begin supplying power bv
late 1979.
Also under construction: the South
Texas Project, a nuclear plant in
which CPL has a 25.2 percent share.
The first unit is scheduled for opera-
tion bv late 1980, the second in 1982
For the present, CPL has diminished
its dependence on natural gas bv
modifying existing generating units
to burn fuel oil when natural gas
supplies are curtailed. Conversion of
these units was finished this spring.
To take advantage of additional fuel
supply economies and larger generat-
ing plants, CPL is involved with
other companies in an effort to inter-
connect with systems in neighboring
states.
The natural gas shortage is both real
and immediate. Because it is, CPL is
involved in several research projects
to explore still other methods of pro-
ducing power to assure its customers
of a continued, dependable supply of
electricity.
