. 'The company now has mere than

voluntary progrims: load control,

three programs,*' Youi* said. "It
would mean savings to them and
also our other customers.”
Young urges interested customers
to call the Duka Power office at

Load control, time-of-day and
prime rate are Just three of some 40
load management programs Duke
Power has devised to help
customers save money. They work
in two ways. First, they allow the
customer to reduce monthly power
Mils. Second, by shifting usage they
lower demand for power at peek
periods and thereby postpone the
need for additional generating
plants to meet that high demand.
