Power company hearing reveals coal shortage strain on VEPCO
Virginia Electric and Power Company officials told the state SCC that coal supply problems threaten the ability to meet expected demand. VEPCO president J. G. Holtzclaw said 350,000 kilowatts normally needed could be supported only with hydro and oil plants and imports, leaving 205,000 kilowatts in doubt without a coal supply change. The commission heard that coal comes mainly from rail transport and Maryland sources, with little direct use in gas processing.
