Ground broken on 7 million super power plant in Indiana
Terre Haute Indiana November 12 construction has begun on a 7 000 000 unit super power plant for Indiana Electric Corporation on a 63 acre Wabash river site. Brewers of Grand Rapids own the organizers and also control utilities across Indiana and Wisconsin. The plan calls for two 20 000 kilowatt units with three additional units later and a total of 100 000 kilowatts capacity. Coal reserves on adjoining land are enough for thirty years with no transport cost. The plant will use about two and a quarter pounds of coal per kilowatt hour compared with four to five pounds currently. It will generate three times as much power as needed locally and will divert most of the Wabash river hydraulic power to condensers. The Darwin Road and a Pennsylvania railroad switch will handle outside supplies. Webster Stone with the Keokuk dam background awarded the construction contract. Brewer interests own public utilities across the Midwest led by Joseph H. Brewer.
