Charlotte, N.C., March 28—Plans for the erection of an hydroelectric plant capable of generating 60,000 horsepower of electrical energy on Rocky Creek in Lancaster County, South Carolina, were announced here tonight by W.S. Lee, vice-president of the Southern Power company. The plant will cost, according to the announcement, $1,250,000.
This will be the twelfth hydroelectric development built by the Southern Power company, which has plants located throughout Piedmont North and South Carolina.
Work on the project will be started at an early date and will be rushed to completion, Mr. Lee said.
Early completion of the plant is made necessary, according to Mr. Lee by the growing demand in the Carolinas for electrical energy, which now is taxing the capacity of the company’s other plants in this section.
