And, to appreciate what the event means fully, you have to look back eight years ...because thats the average time it takes to plan, get approvals, design and construct a plant like the new four hundred and thirty thousand kilowatt generating unit at Huntington. In fact, after a site with enough water and coal is selected, three years are needed just for the environ mental studies and regulatory approval.

Thats a staggering increase compared to the 1,783,000 kilowatt capacity the company has today. And since youre a customer, you have a right to know that Utah Power has very precise planning underway to meet your power needs in the years ahead. |
