Power Company To Construct
New Generating Plant Soon
Ixmis V. Sutton, President,
Makes Announcement of
Reserve Resource Construc
tion Program.
Raleigh, Jan. I.—The Carolina
Power and Light Company plans
the immediate construction of a
40,000 horsepower steam electri:
generating plant to cost approxi
mately three million dollars, L.
V. Sutton, president and general
manager, announced this week.
Mr. Sutton said Iris company
has had . ample power resources
at all times for the growing inc-eds
of the territory it serves in North
and South Carolina, and that the
construction of an additional c-
Icctric generating plant is in line
with the long established policy
es his company to look ahead and
have available an adequate
source of dependable power to
meet anticipated increased de
mands.
During 1940, he pointed out,
the Carolina Power and Light
Company sold, from its surplus
supply, 180 milion kilowatt-hours
of electricity to a vital defense
industry located Outside the com
pany’s territory. This was done
after supplying all requirements
of its own customers, which in
cluded many industries neces
sary to the national defense pro
gram now under way.
Ready In Early 1942
The new plant is planned to
be completed and placed in ser
vice by the spring of, 1942. It will
be located somewhere within the
Raleigh load area. An order for
the steam turbine-generator unit
has been placed. Orders for the,
boilers, condensors and other e
quipment will be placed shortly,
Mr. Sutton said. The turbine is
to be the latest and most improv-
C’B type. It will be designed for
850 pounds steam pressure and
900 degrees Fahrenheit steam
temperature. The generator will
be hydrogen cooled. The boiler
will be of the semi-outdoor type
and designed to make about 300,-
000 pounds of steam per hour. If
the new plant is placed at the
Cape Fear steam electric gen
erating plant, located 18 miles
east of Sanford, N. C., it will
double the installed generating
capacity there.
At the present time the com
pany has ten hydro-electric and
two steam generating plants, lo
cated in- the Carol inas,
.with contracts for the purchase
of firm power from two other
.electric utilities. This gives the
company an aggregate available
power supply in excess of 423,-
000 horsepower.
Plenty of Power
The company has had more’
than ample power for
all needs in its territory. Mr. Sut-j
' ton pointed out that late in 1938
the company lost its largest cus- 1

vice Company, which served the
city of Knoxville, which loss re
sulted in the Carolina company
having a large surplus of power.
The company sold the Knoxville
company approximately 150 mil
lion killowatt-hours during the
last twelve months it served
them.
The new steam plant, when
; completed in early 1942, should
make available in excess of 200
million kilowatt-hours a year.
Since the present Carolina Pow
er and Light Company was creat
ed in 1926 the company has great
ly extended its generating, trans
mission and distribution facili
ties so as to at all times keep
ahead of the elcetric power de
mands of the people in the ter
ritory it serves, Mr. Sutton add
ed.
With the assistance and back
ing of its holding company, the
Electric Bond and Share Com
pany, which made possible the
formation of the present Carolina
Power and Light Company in
1926, as well as the formation of
the Carolina Com
pany in 1908, the company, with
in the - past 16 years, has con
structed its present steam elec
tric plant at Cape Fear with an
installed capacity of 40,000 horse
power; the Tillery hydro-electric
plant on the Pee Dee River near
Mt. Gilead, 83,000 horsepower;
the Waterville hydro-electric
plant in Haywood county near
the Tennessee line, 145,000 horse
power, and contracted with the
Lexington Water Power Company
in South Carolina for approxi-

mately 75,000 horsepower. |
In addition to its holding com-|
pany connections, the company
has 8,7i00 preferred stockholders,
more than three-fourths of whom
live in the Carolinas.
Today, Mr. Sutton added, the
company has a large intercon
nected system serving more than
118 thousand electric customers
in the two Carolinas. The trans
mission system is connected with
the transmission systems of the
six neighboring electric utility
companies. It is felt, Mr. Sutton
added, that such a system has
enabled his company to be pre
pared now and in the future to
do its part in the national de
fense program by having an ade
quate supply of power available
for all anticipated demands in
the territory it serves.
