PUBLIC POWER
REDUCES ELECTRIC RATES
$1,250,000.00 ANNUALLY
Beginning April 1, 1948
All classes of customers to benefit
from lower rates . . . Annual savings amount to
more than a month's free electricity for most homes
tr
A rate reduction, amounting to one million, two
hundred-fifty thousand dollars annually for cus
tomers served by the Omaha Public Power District,
will be made beginning April 1, 1948.
All classes of customers served by the District
will receive a saving in their electric service bills.
This rate reduction is being made in the face
of greatly increased costs for labor, fuel and mate
rials, which, on the basis of price alone, increased
more than #500,000 during the past year. In addi
tion, provision has been made for an expansion and
construction program to assure continued depend
able service for our electric users. The cost of this
program, now well under way, will amount to
more than #15,000,000 over the period of the next
five years. And, of course, the District continues
to pay nearly a million dollars each year, in lieu
of taxes, to the state and the cities, counties, and
school districts in the territory it serves.
In spite of increased costs of operation, our ex
pansion program, and continued payments in lieu
of taxes, public ownership has still made it possible
to put this rate reduction into effect after only six
teen months of operation.
SAVINGS AMOUNT TO MORE THAN A MONTH'S
FREE ELECTRICITY FOR MOST HOMES
The annual saving for most homes will amount
to more than a month’s free electric service. More
than 64,000 residential customers will benefit from
the new lower rates. This rate reduction will great
ly add to the value of the “electric dollar” and
make possible the use of better lighting and addi
tional time and labor-saving appliances in the home,
at no extra cost.
GENERAL BUSINESS CUSTOMERS
BENEFIT FROM NEW LOWER RATES
Business and industrial customers in the area
served by the District will benefit from the rate
reduction. Savings to stores, offices, and small in
dustries will amount to #500,000 annually.
NEW LOW KATE FOR SCHOOLS. CHURCHES. PUBLIC
BUILDINGS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS
A new, special rate for all public and parochial
schools, churches, public buildings, and charitable
institutions served by the District will also be put
into effect. This will give this group of customers
a considerable reduction in their present costs of
electric service.
CITIES AND VILLAGES OUTSIDE OMAHA
TO ENJOY SAME RATES AS OMAHA
All homes, business, and industry located in
cities, villages, and suburban areas outside of Oma
ha will now enjoy identically the same rates as
Omaha users. In the past, cost to out-of-city cus
tomers has been somewhat higher than in Omaha.
In determining the new schedules, rates will first
be equalized with Omaha’s old rates . . . then the
same new rate reduction being made in Omaha will
also be applied.
FARM ELECTRIC SERVICE ^
TO COST LESS
Rates for farm electric service are also being
reduced. In effect, the difference between the new
rate schedule and the old amounts to more than
1,200,000 kilowatt hours of “free” electricity for
farms now served by the District. With this sav
ing, farm customers can make even more use of
labor-saving electric service in the home or on the
farm, or apply the savings on the purchase of ad
ditional electrical farm equipment to increase pro
duction and profits.
In announcing this rate reduction, the Omaha
Public Power District is fulfilling its promise to dis
tribute to the users of service die benefits of pub
lic ownership .... continuing, at the same time,
its policy of courtesy and dependable service.
