SUMMER HEAT CAUSES BIG ELECTRIC USAGE Three All-Time Records Created For Virginia Electric and Power Co. in August. Last week’s sticky heat was largely responsible for toppling three all-time records, Erwin H. Will, president of Virginia Elec tric and Power Company an nounced today. The heavier than usual use of television during the National Democratic Convention also contributed to the record, Vepco President Will said that use of air conditioning pushed the week’s production to a new high of 139,290,000 kilowatt hours. An all-time peak load of 1,166,000 kilowatts was established between 2 and 3 p.m. on Monday, August 13. The next day’s production of 21,447,000 kilowatt-hours set a new high for a 24-hour period. Air conditioning also played a large part in increasing revenues during last month, according to Will. July revenues rose to $9,- 916,000, an increase of 12.6 pei cent or $1,114,400 over the same month of last year. Revenues for the past twelve months ended July 31 wei-e $113,- 850,500, an increase over the pre vious twelve months of $11,884,000 or 11.6 per cent. Balance available for common stock during the past twelve months amounteds to $2.70 per share. This compared with $2.47 pel - share for the twelve months ended July 31, 1955, Will said. The company president said that Vepco has spent $23,880,000 through July 31 on its $50,000,000 construction budget for 1956.
