A REPORT To Missouri Power Light Customers On Electrical Power Use. For years we've been talking about how we plan ahead so when you need electric service you'll have it.

Last month is a good example of planning for your electrical requirements because it was 13 per cent hotter than the last 10-year average and MPL customers used more power to operate air conditioners and lor al! other uses. Unlike some parts of the country, there are no power shortages here and we don't expect any. However, because it was 13 per cent hotter than the average for the last 10 years and MPL customers did use more electricity, service bills will be higher. But isn't it comforting to know that when you really need your electric service it's there for you? We'll keep working to make certain you always have plenty. All we ask is that you use it wisely.
