Iowa Electric plans rate hikes to fund refits and new shares
An IE official outlined that only six cents per share is paid to common stockholders while $1.30 is kept as a dividend from retained earnings. As rates rise, IE expects to tap reserves less, issue common shares in 1976 and 1977, and issue bonds to cover $77.3 million of maturing obligations. The company may boost base-load efficiency, buy power or run oil peak plants until 1980 while deferring major plant investments until financing stabilizes. Arnold remains optimistic about hitting financial goals and continuing studies on a second Palo nuclear unit.
