TP&L residential
customers in 247cities pay
less for electricity than the
people who live in Austin,
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Los Angeles, New York,
Philadelphia, San Antonio,
and Washington, D. C. ...
to name just a few.
In Corsicana and most other cities in the Texas Power
& Light service area. 1,000 kilowatt-hours of residential
electricity costs less than in most areas of Texas and
the nation.
We re not overlooking the fact that in recent years
the price of electricity has gone up everywhere, including
the area served by TPAL. Skyrocketing costs of producing
and supplying power have left TPAL and other companies
no choice but to ask customers to pay more for their
electric service
Even so, the price of TPAL electncity today is far less
than it would have been if we were not constantly working
to hold down the price. One of the ways we re doing this is
to build and operate generating plants which use lower
cost lignite coal as fuel rather than natural gas Two
lignite plants are now producing power for TPAL
customers and others are under construction and being
planned.
For almost sixty-four years, Texas Power A Light has
supplied dependable electric service at a fair price We re
working to keep it that way
