IT NOW TAKES THREE YEARS TO BUILD MORE ELECTRIC PLANT CAPACITY- - .

x Aves y “ og pi ™ pd > 2K

® Back in 1940, your electric company began an exceptionally large electric plant expansion program which is now scheduled for completion in 1951. It was started because Public Service Company’s experienced business management foresaw that - war would greatly step up Indiana’s industrial and domestic use of electricity.

In the meantime, the demand for power has increased

A s ® :

steadily. Our state attracted a great number of war production plants needing large quantities of electricity. And since the war, the power needed for Indiana’s peacetime production is actually exceeding wartime demand. Today, our industries are using more than twice as much power as before the war, and more than 57,000 new electric customers have been added to our lines. To meet this continuing increase in your power needs, Public Service has never stopped the expansion program it started in 1940. By 1951, the Company’s 11-year plant expansion program will have cost $115,000,000 and will have more than trebled its 1940 capacity.
