Abstract:
The average residential customer of Duke Power Company used more than 40 percent more electricity in 1959 than customers across the nation. Duke, a leading power system in the United States, increased its 12.5 billion killowatt hour product in 1958 to 13.8 billion in 1959. But despite major construction and additional services, rates have been reduced to make the advantages of electrical service available to all.
