Iowa utilities weigh measures to prevent future power shortages
Iowa utilities faced a hot summer with no brownouts and consider options to boost reserves. Iowa Power and Light plans four 35 MW turbines at 24 to 28 million dollars to meet peak demand by 1990. Interstate Power must add capacity or contract power after a 4.8 percent cushion.

Peak alerts ignored as heat spikes draw criticism
Iowa utility officials say peak alerts failed to curb demand last summer as heat drove record electric use. Les Juan of Iowa Public Service in Sioux City notes alerts were issued so often that by August 15 customers stopped paying attention. Iowa Electric Light and Power reports 16 alerts and calls for conservation but little public response.
