OUR BIG JOB TODAY!
Our big job today is keeping electric power flowing to you . . . our
customers. It’s not an easy job, because we are working under the
handicap of shortages in generating facilities brought about by
conditions during wartime.
Growth and accelerated industrial activity during the war and postwar
years about used up the reserve of electric power that Texas Power &
Light Company had built up . . . and used it up during a period when
further expansion of electric generating facilities was practically
impossible.
During the war, all the big turbo-generators manufactured were
necessarily diverted to the all-out war program . . . they were needed
for warships and for shipment to the war zone. Following the war, the
few manufacturers who make these big generators were plagued with
shortages and delays. . . and, at the same time, were deluged with
orders from power companies throughout the nation for urgently
needed generating equipment. Among those orders is one for a turbo-
generator of 84,000 horsepower capacity for Texas Power & Light
Company ... but we must wait until Late 1949 for delivery. But, also,
we have placed orders for smaller generating units which can be
delivered sooner . . . 8,000 horsepower to be installed for use this year
(1948) and 16,000 horsepower for use next year (1949).
The new generators are coming ... five of them, totaling 108,000 horse-
power ... to supplement our present 294,000 horsepower of electric
power resources. But between now and the time all this new capacity
can be delivered and installed there may be occasions when it will be
a tight squeeze to make existing power supply go around.
So, as we progress with the installation of this new generating capacity,
we want to assure you that we are also working hard to fulfill our hopes
that electric power may continue to flow to you in whatever quantities
you may need.
We are in the midst of the most extensive expansion program in our
history, at the completion of which there will again he an abundance
of reserve electric power for future growth and development.
