Ohio Power Plans Expansion
Program For This Section
Ohio Power Company today announced it plans a 1956 con
ruction and expansion expenditure of more than $67-million, larg
est one-year construction budget in the history of the company.
The expenditure will go into power plants, substations, trans
mission and distribution lines and other facilities to serve its cus
i'liners. Thj projected budget for this year is almost double the
otual expenditures in 1955,
hen Ohio Power expansions
..nd improvements in facilities
o.st $34,878,342.
Announcement of the record
ne-year budget comes on the
heels of an announcement last'
week by Ohio Power's parent
company, American Gas and
Klectric Co., that the AGE Sys
tem will spend $700-million for
construction and installation of
new facilities during the next
five-year period. It will be the
largest expansion in AGE's 50
year history.
Ohio Power's 1956 budget
brings to approximately one
third of a billion dollars the con
struction investment made by
lie company since the end of
World War II. This investment
has been made, the company
said, to remain ahead of increas
ed demands by customers in all
classifications residential,
rural, commercial and industrial.
Well over half of the total
expenditure slates for 1956 is in
the power plant category, $42,
000,030. This includes major pro
jects at Muskingum River and
Philo Plants, both on the Musk
ingum River south of Zanesville,
and start of construction of the
company's new Kaminer plant,
to be- built at Captina, W. Va.,
south of Wheeling.
In general classifications, the
1956 budget, including both new
construction and improvements
to existing facilities, is as fol
lows:
Power plants, $42,000,000
transmission and distribution
facilities, $22,325,000, and mis
cellaneous projects, $2,840,000.
Largest single expenditure in
the 1956 construction blueprint
is $27,680,000 for continuation of
work on Units 3 and 4 at Mus
kingum River plant near Bev
erly. A total of $4,400,000 was
spent at Muskingum in 1955 and
$21,200,000 more is slated to be
spent in 1957. An expenditure of

The third unit is scheduled to go
into service in May, 1957, and
Unit 4 in September of that year.
Both are 225,000-kiIowatt units.
Another highlight of the 1956
program will be further work on
the revolutionary ultra-high
steam pressure and temperature
unit at Philo plant. The budget
calls for expenditure of $7,835,
000 in 1956 and completion of
the unit in July of this year.
Total cost of the project is $19,
000,000.
Ohio Power has earmarked
$5,000,000 of its '56 budget for
the beginning of construction of
the first 225,000-kilowatt unit of
the new Kammer plant. In 1957,
Ohio Power expenditures at the
plant will be $16,650,000 and in
1958 it will be $9,800,000. Total
cost of the unit will be $31,500,
000. It is scheduled for operation
in March, 1958.
