There has never been a power shortage in our area. During the war our Company not only supplied all of the requirements of the war production program, in cluding the many military camps and needs of all the customers in the territory it served, but in addition furnished several hundred millions of kilowatt hours of power for aluminum production, furnaces, shipyards, camps and other needs owttide of its own territory." The full text of the address by L. V. Sutton at the new Lumberton Plant ceremony follows: " I bring you greetings from the more than 1800 officers, directors and employees of Carolina Power St Light Company, also from the thirty-odd thousand stockholders and bondholders who, because of their faith in the Company and the area which it serves, have provided the money with which this plant and other facilities of the Company are being constructed. This Lumberton Plant is an Important part of a $78,000,000 postwar expansion program now in progress by our Company. Near the conclusion of this program, when Governor Scot puts into operation the first unit of this new plant, he will re lease the useful energy of 60,000 horsepower. During the spring ol next year, another 60,000 horsepower unit which you see here under construction will be placed in serv ice. 750 Million More Kilowatt Hours This plant is designed to operate around the clock, for use in carrying the "base load" of the Company. It is capable of pro ducing over 750 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy a year. This amount of energy is approximately one-third of the present requirements of the Company and is two and one-half times the number of kilo watt hours used by all of its residential cus tomers, and more than the total kilowatt hours used by all the rural customers in this State. In order to give you some further idea of the magnitude of this generating station, I would like to compare its capability with that of the Buggs Island hydro-electric plant now being constructed by the Federal Gov ernment on the Roanoke River just over the State line in Virginia. Now a hydro plant has two kinds of energy-r-the dependable kind, which always can be counted on for serving customers that require power every day of every year, and the so-called secondary or "dump" pow er, which is available only when there is enough water to make it and, therefore, is only useful to save fuel in steam electric sta tions. The dependable energy capability of the Buggs Island Plant, as determined by the Army engineers will be 200 million kilowatt hours a year. The 750 million kilowatt hour eapebtllty of Lumberton ia almost four times this amount You may also have seen reference to the proposed hydro-electric plant at Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, on this same Roa aoke River. Its dependable energy is about 1M million kilowatt hours a year. This Lumberton steam plant can produce abo.it twice the number of dependable kilowatt hours that can be generated by the two Roanoke River hydro plants added together. New Type of Design No doubt you, who are here, have noticed that the new plant looks unlike any other generating station you have ever seen. ' It is different. It is the first out-door type generating station burning coal ever to be built. Most of the equipment is outdoors, instead of being Inside a big Building. It represents the latest developments in power plant engineering and is highly efficient. The plant has an initial capacity of 120,000 horsepower to be supplied from two units of 60,000 horsepower each. Provision has been made for the installation of two additional units when studies of future re quirements foretell their need. The first two units operating under full load will consume coal at the rate of 17 carloads per day. That coal will be fed automatically to the nine-story high boilers after it has been pulverized to the consist ency of talcum powder. Gases from the burning coal will be dispelled by means of a stack 20 feet in diameter and 200 feet high. One hundred thousand gallons of water per hour in the boilers will be exposed to heat at 2700 degrees Fahrenheit. The re sulting steam will be conveyed to the tur bines at 1350 pounds of pressure per square inch and at a temperature of 955 degrees. After steam passes through the turbines, con densers will convert it back into water so that the same boiler water may be used over and over again. The condensers will require approximately 80,000 gallons of cooling water per minute. Faith In Area Served This plant was planned and the major equipment ordered back in the early part of 1946. There was no need for it at that time it was built on our faith in the continued growth of this territory and in accordance with our long-established policy of making power available in advance of actual de mand. You might be interested to know that this is the third steam electric plant now in our system, and in addition, we operate nine hydro-electric plants. There was a time when hydro-electric power was more eco nomical than steam power, but the increase in the construction cost of hydros, the im provement in the efficiency of steam plants, as well as the factor of dependability, have changed the trend. Nevertheless, North Carolina In IMS ranked fourth among the twenty-six atatet east of the Mississippi River in generation of hydro-electric power. Another Plant Under Way About a year ago plans were made and orders placed for the first unit of another steam plant at Goldsboro. Preliminary con struction work is in progress there, and we expect to have the first unit of. that plant in service by the early part of 1951. These two new plants, together with other pro visions made since the war, will provide Carolina Power & Light Company with new sources aggregating more than 2,000 million kilowatt hours of dependable energy per year. New power and energy in such quantity is assurance that there will be plenty of power in this area in the foreseeable future, and of course we do not intend to stop build ing facilities so long as our customers will use more electricity. No Power Shortage It is a matter of pride to us that since our Company was first organized in 1908, there has never been a time when we did not have all the power required for all. the needs of the territory we serve. There has never been a power shortage in our area. During te war our Company not only supplied all re quirements of the war production program, including the many military camps and the needs of all the customers in the territory it served, but in addition furnished several hundred millions of kilowatt hours of power for aluminum production, furnaces, ship yards, camps, and other needs outside its own territory. Preceding and during the early stages of the war, there were some doleful predictions that the country would fcj short of power. But the shortages never materialized. Secre tary of the Interior, J. A. Krug, who was chairman of the War Production Board dur ing the war, is authority lor the statement that during World War II, "The power indus try was never too little nor too late." When you recall the many shortages experienced during the war, and remember too, how the prices of other commodities increased, it is significant that electric power was available in plentiful supply at r.o increase in price. The investor owned utilities supplied more than 80 per cent of wartime elect it f'wer requirements. What other industry c?n offer a better record? Rural Areas Electrified Since V-J Day in 1945 when the neces ary materials were released for such pur poses, we have built in North Carolina alone over 6,000 miles of rural lines and connected over 40,000 additional rural and farm cus tomers. Also ,our kilowatt-hour sales to all rural and farm customers have more than trebled .during the period. In addition, elec tric service has been made available tl eral thousand farm homes which, tl reason or another, have nut seen lit advantage of the service. We are co ing to the fullest with Mie R.EA service area. We recognize the fact thl have a common problem. Together the job of bringing service to as many and farm customers in the State as poi I think we have done a good job. To( Wi will endeavor to make electric st available to the relatively few rural farm homes in our area which are still out electricity. Naturally, these are thej most remote from service lines, and who do not accept service when it is available to them. Our sales and the use of electricity grown rapidly. Since 1933, ftr exa delivery of current has increased by than 50 oer cent every five years. W' serving today 235,000 customers, of i 78,000 are rural and farm customers. rates for electric service are low.
