VERY year since the end of the war, this company and six others that form the Central System of the American Gas and Electric Company have met greater- and greater demands for electricity. Last year’s demands, system-wide, topped them ail. They were double the prewar year of 1939. Yet .. . we have been able to meet all calls for power. There has been no power shortage here. e What we lack are extra electric generators—we call them “reserve capacity’’—to be used in case one or more of our big machines should break down. Before the war, the Central System always had plenty of reserve capacity. In war-time, government restrictions on equipment limited new construction. Since the war, manufacturers have not been able to fill our orders fast enough to keep pace with the growing demand for electric power. The result: Our margin boiv:eon reserve and demand is still too close for comfort, . :

F Here's what we have done and what we are doing: From their earliest beginnings fifty years ago, the companies in the Central System grew until in 1939 the combined capacity of the electric generating plants in the system was 1,410,000 horsepower. Since 1939, 1,323,000 horsepower has been added to the system. As‘a result, plant capacity has almost doubled in a short ten years. In 1947, the companies in the Central System launched a $305,000,000 expansion program to add more plants and facilities to bring more power to serve their customers. There are 1,106,000 horsepower of new electric plants under construction system-wide. All will be completed by 1951, some in just a few months from now. These new plants will be additional assurance that in thes years to come you will have all the electric power you need.
