If they badali settled in one locality, the
3,712 electric customers added to PP&L
lines in 1944 would have given the
Pacific Northwest a brand new city of
, 10,000 population. As it was, this healthy
growth was distributed throughout the
80 cities and towns and the extensive
rural areas served by the Company. At
the year-end, PP&L was supplying low
cost, dependab le electric service to
W ith more customers than ever before,
and with a growing war-time demand
for cheap and tireless electricity, PP&L
was called upon to supply users with
354,906,000 kilowatt-hours o f electric
ity in 1944— an increase o f 44,921,000
kilowatt - hours, or 14.3%, over the
record-breaking 1943 total.

Thanks to the tw o ’’rate dividends” total
ing nearly $600,000 which PP&L dis
tributed to all customers in 1944, the
Company's electric users enjoyed 12
months o f service for the price o f 11.
This practical method o f sharing war
time earnings gave customers savings,
during the year, equal to an 8 1/3%
rate reduction.

more K W H to its customers in 1944,
the drop in average price kept revenues
from increasing with the volume of
business. Expenses, however, went up
due to increased power purchase re
quirements and other operating needs.
As a result, the Company’s net income
for the year was substantially less than
the 1943 figure.
Wherever it serves, PP&L represents a
steady and substantial payroll in the
community. Last year the Company met
a total payroll, including construction
work, o f $1,838,542. It provided em
ployment for an average o f 725 loyal
and competent men and women. And
PP&L looks forward to the day when
the resumption o f a peacetime develop
ment program w ill find it helping to
make many more jobs for ambitious
boys and girls.
W hile the cost o f living kept going ep
in 1944 (now 25.4% above 1939), the
average price of PP&L electricity went
down to tbe very lo w fig u re o f 1.84
ents per K W H for residential service
(21% below 1939). Homes served by
PP&L pay only about M f the national
average price, and use almost
at

Again we extend to our customers our
thanks and appreciation for their co
operation in many different ways to help
us do our wartime job throughout the
year. W orking together, we were able
to meet every need for electric service
as it arose. W e have confidence that the
same spirit o f cooperation can carry this
region forward in the post-war era to
new levels o f productivity and prosperity.
Now, when it is doubly important that you
have good workmanship and quick service to
keep your cars and trucks running, have us take
care of your service problems. .
