Charlotte to Get New Electric Power Plant, Sept. 18, 1925

To Build Big Power Plant

Charlotte—An 80,000 horsepower steam electric power plant is to be built by the Southern Power Company immediately in order to create a reserve that will provide ample insurance against possibility of any power curtailment in the future.

Announcement to this effect was made by C.L. Burkholder, vice president and general manager of the power company, who has just returned to Charlotte from Newport, R.I., where he and W.S. Lee, vice president and chief engineer of the power company, were called for a conference with James B. Duke.
