Georgia Power
To Double Size
Os New Plant
ATLANTA (PRN) -- Plans
for doubling the size of the
Georgia Power Company’s
new steam-electric generating
plant, now under construction
on the Etowah River near
Cartersville, were announced
today by Edwin I. Hatch,
company president.
The S7O-million,
700,000-kilowatt second unit
is scheduled for completion in
1972. It is part of an
expansion program which will
add more generating capacity
to the power company’s
system in the next five years
than was added during the
previous 40 years.
Last year the utility
announced plans for the
plant’s 700,000-kilowatt first
unit, costing approximately
$75 million and expected to ,
become operational in 1971.
Announcement of the
second unit, Mr. Hatch said,
displays his company’s
confidence in the continued
economic growth of the
Northwest Georgia area. He
said that Georgia Power must
plan many years in advance
the facilities to meet the
increased demand of homes
and industries.
Included in the new
construction will be a second
cooling tower, some 300 feet
high and 300 feet wide at its
base, which will recirculate
and cool water used in the
plant. This type of cooling
equipment is one os the most
* recent innovations in
1 generating station design.
The plant will deliver
I power to the Northwest
, Georgia and Metropolitan
, Atlanta areas and will be
connected to the company’s
3 network of 26 other
L generating stations and 35,000
miles of transmission and
distribution lines. Power from
1 the Bartow County plant can
f be delivered to homes, farms,
j businesses and industries
throughout the company’s
service area.
3 The five-year expansion
program includes two
r additional units at Plant
Harllee Branch, one now in

the testing stage. The plant is
located on Lake Sinclair
between Eatonton and
Milledgeville. Its four units
will give it a generating
capacity of more than 14
million kilowatts, some
100,000 kilowatts greater than
the company’s total capacity
of 10 years ago.
In addition, a SSO-million
fourth unit under construction
at Plant Hammond near Rome
will nearly triple that plant s
capacity. The 500,000-kilo
watt generator is expected to
be completed in early 1970.
The power company also is
building a $l5O-million
nuclear-fueled plant, the
Edwin I. Hatch Nuclea* Plant,
some 10 miles north of Baxley
on the Altamaha River.
These additional facilities
with the Etowah River plant|
are being built at an estimated
total cost of $437 million and
will add some 3,670,000
kilowatts to the company’s
generating capacity.
