Would Pay For Power Move Targets Mobile Direct Current
Montgomery Alabama June 7 A proposal from W R Waggoner assistant manager of Alabama Power urges extending a 20 percent direct current penalty to all Mobile power customers to speed the elimination of direct current in favor of alternating current. He argues small consumers avoid penalties and resist switching while large users rapidly convert to save on bills, and the plan would apply the differential to all direct current service. The report accompanies progress on contracts to remove direct current in Mobile under the public service commission docket 5564.
