THE FACTS
ABOUT FUEL
Straight Talk by
Bob Scherer
President,
Georgia Power Company
Recent economic forecasts are looking
somewhat better, but inflation still is tne
number one problem facing businesses
and individuals alike. The price of
producing your electricity has risen
drastically, as have the prices of almost
everything else you buy.
If there’s one factor we can point to
as the main reason for increased electric
rates, it’s the cost of fuel which has sky
rocketed due to the worldwide energy
crunch. Fuel, of course, is the biggest
item of expense for Georgia Power
Company, or any electric utility, since it’s
the raw material from which we produce
your electricity.
At the end of 1974, our fuel bill was
$292 million. Almost double the 1973
cost of $l5B million. Only 10 years ago,
our fuel bill was $27 million.
This seems an almost unbelievable
jump—but stop and think about the fuel
you buy most often, gasoline for your car,
and what's happened to those prices.
Added to our fuel bill are other
inflated costs of operating: wages, build
ing materials, service vehicles (and
gasoline to run them)—right down to the
wooden pole and wire that bring electric
ity into your home or business.
What are we doing about it? Our
company is contributing to many national
research projects seeking new and more
efficient sources of fuel. And we are
constantly searching for better and
cleaner ways to use the fuel we have now.
Our new management team is dedicated
to examining every expense, every
department and activity, to find ways of
improving service and cutting costs.
If you have suggestions about how
we can better provide for your electrical
needs, I would appreciate hearing
from you.
