December in our service area was
about 23 percent colder than last
December and with the possibility
of more cooking, use of decorative
lighting and entertaining during
the holiday season, many PP&L
customers can expect their
electric bill to be higher than their
last bill and higher than their bill
for the same period last year,”
Nonemaker said.

peak demand on Feb. 2,1979, when
customers required 4.65 million
kilowatts.
“Although we have not set an all
time PP&L system peak this year,
Monday’s peak was the highest
this heating season,” he said.
Because of the heavy load on
PP&L’s system and throughout the
Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryl
and Interconnection, PP&L had all
of its available generating units
operating, including some of its
combustion turbines.
“However, all the high-cost
energy produced by the com

companies in the power pool,” Bill
Scheffley, PP&L’s manager
system Operation, said "On
Monday we sold 13.9 percent of the
electricity PP&L generated to
other companies in the in

PP&L’s present generating
capability is 6.15 million kilowatts
