The Augusta News-Review - June 12, 1975 - THOMAS KETCH & mZXzx DIRECTOR Dent s Undertaking Establishment 930 D ANTIGNAC PHONE 722 4809 722-4800 AUGUSTA, GEORGIA 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. Write: Bob Scherer P.O.
