The Houston Home Journal, Perry, Ga., Thursday, June 27, 19^ 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 1 Pre-4th Sale at the THE VANITY SHOP \ Sale Begins at 9 A.

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. .
