A BRIEF CEREMONY, and the first bulldozer
moves in quickly, a thick crust of Georgia
soil curling against the big blade. A new
electric power plant is begun.
This year the construction budget of the
Georgia Power Company is the largest in its
history — $61^ million.
Why? Everyone is using more electricity—
in homes, stores, factories and on the farms.
There is plenty of power for them to use,
and there is plenty more on the way.
For example, construction will be continued
on Plant McDonough, a 500,000-kilowatt,
steam-electric generating station near At
lanta. When completed in 1964, this plant v/ill
produce enough electricity to serve about
540,000 homes.
Existing power plants are being expanded.
New ones are being planned. Construction
every year includes many substations and
hundreds of miles of transmission and dis
tribution lines.
It all adds up to the kind of electricity you
want — abundant, dependable and at a price
lower than ever.
