more people but... power for ###ore TODAY the nation has more power than ever before. This November, British Electricity have more than a million more horse-power in service compared with this time last year. But the number of industrial, domestic and commercial consumers also grows each year. More than 1,000,000 more consumers are being supplied now than before vesting day; and nearly 30% more electricity is being consumed now than then. That is one obvious reason why even the increased power now available is not yet enough to meet the maximum simultaneous demands of consumers at the "rush" or "Peak Demand" Hours.
