Indiana Power Fuels Economic Growth and Industrial Boom
Indiana leads in electric power capacity and usage with power production up 87 percent in the decade to 1951 and doubling since. Major utilities and new plants like General Electric in Shelbyville and Dodge division plants in Indiana drive growth while tax revenue from utilities rises. Interchange power guarantees prevent shortages even in wartime. 99 percent of farms now have electricity and urban uses expand across industry and homes.
