For Total-Electric Customers
Georgia Power Company Announces an Important
ELECTRIC RATE DECREASE
We are very pleased to announce that the
Georgia Public Service Commission has ap
proved a new Total-Electric Rate. This plan
offers a lower rate to most of our residential
customers whose homes are total-electric.
The new rate is in line with our policy of
keeping electricity the best bargain in your
family budget. While the cost of living re
mains high and many prices continue to
spiral upward, this dramatic cutback will
bring total-electric living within easy reach
of more families than ever before.
How Does the New Rate Work?
The Total-Electric Rate is available to you,
as a residential customer, if all of the major
appliances in your home are electrically
operated, including cooking, water heating
and house heatipg^
Our engineers will estipaate carefully your
annual electric usage. For any amount over
9,000 kilowatt-hours you will be charged
only 1.2 cents per kilowatt-hour instead of
the previous 1.6 cents.
Your estimated bill for the year will be
divided by 12 to arrive at your monthly bill.
You will then get 12 equal bills. You know
how much your electricity will cost you
every month. There are no peak bills—
either in cold weather when heating costs
usually rise or in hot weather when air con
ditioning and refrigeration work overtime.
At the end of the year, if you have used
more or less electricity than we estimated,
we will make the necessary adjustment.
Why a Total-Electric Rate?
The Total-Electric Rate was created for two
reasons: to benefit customers who have con
verted to all-electric living and to encourage
others to do so. We believe the total-electric
home is the home of the future. This new
and lower rate makes it available now for
many more people.
You Should Investigate
Throughout the history of the electric utility
industry the trend in the price of electricity
has been downward. And your electric ser
vice is getting to be more of a bargain all the
time. In fact, our average price per kilowatt-
hour is 17.7 per cent less than it was 10
years ago. Last year our residential custom
ers paid 21.6 per cent less than the national
average price per kilowatt-hour.
For a few of our total-electric customers
whose annual use is small, we do not recom
mend this new plan. Their electric usage
may cost them less under their present resi
dential rate. But for most, this new rate can
mean savings of up to 20 per cent in their
total electric bill.
What’s in It for
Georgia Power Company?
Any forward-looking business must antici
pate the needs of its market. This is true
particularly in the power business. We plan
and build for years ahead.
Built into our generating, transmission
and distribution facilities is a margin for
handling more power load. The people of
Georgia can benefit from the use of this
power. If more people are using more elec
tricity, we can save on our operating costs
and can afford to lower our price accordingly.
We grow only as you grow in your use
of electricity.
This Is an Individual Rate
The Total-Electric Rate must fit your needs.
It must be planned for your household. The
requirements are few and simple. This new
rate is mutually beneficial. We hope you
will call our engineers now to work out your
personal electric service under the new low
Total-Electric Rate.
