Supplying you with dependable, low-1
cost electric power today is only a part
of TP&L’s obligation to its customers.
Another essential part of this obiigation
is its planning and building ahead for
your electrical needs tomorrow. 4
- Two big generating units are now
under construction, and will be ready
to serve you in 1965 and 1966. When
completed they will add three-quarter
million kilowatts to the Company’s
capability. - M*eN-esS=
• Even as these plants are going up,
other plans are on the drawing boards
extending to 1980. *
it is only through such planning and
building ahead that TP&L and other
investor-owned electric utility com-
panies are able to keep pace with the b
growing demands for electricity in /
homes, businesses and industries. *
• For example, the average TP&L resi-
dential customer- used more than four 1
times as much electricity in 1963 than
he used in 1948.
, In 1964, TP&L expects to spend
more than $52 million on new construc-
tion. During the 1964-1970 period, con-
struction expenditures by all investor-
owned electric companies of the nation
are expected to exceed $34 billion. 1
! Past records and projected plans of ;
TP&L and the nation’s other investor-
owned electric companies are your
assurance of an adequate and econom-
ical supply of electricity in the future. /
