Since the Reorganization of Electric Power Companies in 1951, the stringent power situation was experienced for several years lacking in power supply for the demand by growing industries, however, persistent effort to develop new power resources resulted in the stable situation with reserve capacity as much as approximately 10 percent in 1964.
Meantime, a hydraulic power generating which had been a main power supply pattern in our country has been exhausted in its rational develop spot, but on the other hand a thermal power has rapidly become economical due to the progress of a thermal engineering, so that thermal power resources has become a mainstay for developments of a power supply since around 1955. As a result, thermal power capacity has been totalized up to about 60 percent in 1964, while that in 1951 amounted only about 30 percent.
With a rapid increase of thermal power facilities we have encountered many problems concerning a thermal power engineering and we make an effort to solve those problems in order to reduce the cost of electricity, to supply a stable power and to maintain the character of the public benefit, as a public corporation, including our effort to establish the countermeasure against an atmospheric pollution problem come up recently.
This paper treats of the power situation, chiefly that in our company's service territory, and problems in thermal power facilities including fuel problems and countermeasures against an atmospheric pollution.
