Judy Golden displays the new truck purchased last week for the Houston
County Library System. The white GMC Sonoma bears the library logo on Its
doors- a large "L” vv/f/i a round dot over the leg of the "L," and a symbol
representing an open book placed In front of the "L". It appears to be a seated
person reading a book. Bids were taken, and Trainer Olds of Warner Robins had
the low bid of $9,304. "We are so proud of this new delivery vehicle,” said
Golden. "We saved for over 10 years In order to buy It." The previously
designated van, a 1975 model with more than 100,000 miles, will be on the
bidding block soon, said Golden.
Frito Lay plant gets past first
round, granted PSC approval
By VETO F. ROLEY
Staff Writer
A proposed cogeneration plant at
Frito Lay's Kathleen facility has
passed the first step, winning ap
proval from the Georgia Public
Service Commission (PSC) last
week.
Although the cogeneration plant
will provide over 200 jobs in the
construction stage, and 40 full time
jobs once the plant goes on line,
Georgia Power officials say the rul
ing will also result in an increase in
electrical bills for Georgia Power
customers throughout the state.
The proposed cogeneration plant
will produce steam and power for
the Frito Lay plant. A cogeneration
plant uses natural gas to produce
steam and electricity.
The PSC ruled that the cogenera
tion plant could produce excess
power at a cheaper cost than Geor
gia Power. Under federal law, Geor
gia Power is then required to pur
chase the excess power generated by
the cogeneration plant.
However, Georgia Power argued
that the cogeneration plant would
produce electricity at a higher cost
than it could produce electricity.
"Three Georgia Public Service
Commissioners on Tuesday, July
19, voted to order Georgia Power to
pay as much as $2lO million more
for electricity produced in a gas- fired
power plant than the competitive
market presently requires," reads a
press release from Georgia Power
on the PSC's ruling.
Todd Terrell, spokesman for Ge
orgia Power, said the utility would
be forced to pass the costs on to
their customers. He noted the 200
construction jobs created by the
plant would "go away, but the costs
won't go away. The electric bill
will be impacted by this decision."
Steve Frankel, spokesman for
Mid-Georgia Cogen L.P., who will
be building the plant, said the plant
had a scheduled opening date of
mid-1997, and will cost $175 mil
lion to build.

ject has been approved on the mer
its of the case," said Frankel. "The
PSC did a through review of the
factors and ruled in our favor.
"It took a long time to get to
this point," Frankel continued.
"There was a whole case estab
lished, and a lot of expert testimony
given.”
Frankel said the start of con
struction depended on a decision of
Georgia Power to appeal the PSC's
decision, and the outcome of an ap
peal if it is made.
"We have not made that decision

(on whether or not to appeal) at this
point," said Terrell, "but, that has
not been ruled out."
"We believe the PSC made the
right decision," said Frankel, "and
we are confident that the decision
will be upheld."
"We are clearly in support of the
project," said Dean Maly, plant
manager of the Kathleen Frito Lay
facility. "I think that it is the right
thing, not only for Frito Lay, but
for the consumer and Houston
County."
