Cities Advised To Undertake Power Venture
Pinehurst NC AP ElectriCities of North Carolina opened its ninth annual meeting with plans to put municipal electric systems in the power generation business. A preliminary proposal urged forming a joint agency to buy a nuclear plant in South Carolina for about 600 million. EPIC proposed a similar venture that collapsed last year when Fayetteville Public Works withdrew support. The General Assembly later approved authority for ElectriCities to produce power for sale within distribution areas. The venture is slated years away, but groundwork must begin soon to make joint power production a reality.
