Abstract:
In the 1960s, Duke Power Company, Virginia Electric and Power Company, and Carolina Power & Light constructed several dams along major waterways to generate energy. The dams were built at Lake Norman, and on the Neuse and Roanoke rivers. The power companies intend to develop enough power to outfit future increases in population consumption throughout the state. In addition, plans call for the construction of future nuclear plants by 1969 to help decrease production cost of power per kilowatt.
