' Nebraska’s largest post-war power expansion program is under way. Whether you are a homemaker, farmer, business man or industrialist, you will benefit from the construction. Peak demands for electricity in Nebraska have been doubling every five years — a rate considerably faster than the national average! To meet your needs, Nebraska public power agencies must plan years in advance. This huge construction program, to be completed by 1959, will help us Bupply an abundance of low-cost electricity for every need and use. The 29-million-dollar construction budget is made up of 26-million dollars of REA money, borrowed at 2% interest, and another three million dollars borrowed on the public market last year by the Loup River Public Power District. A new 100,000 kilowatt steam generating plant is being built by the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District south of Lexington. Seven new substations, more than 300 miles of additional transmission lines, and improvements and additions to fifteen exist ing facilities are included in the overall program. Constant improvement and planning ahead by NPPS and other public power agencies in Nebraska are helping you live better electrically... with ample power... supplied at rates lower than those in any surrounding state.
