BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL  11 9



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Electric Powerplant

Cancellations And Delays


From 1974 through 1978, the Nation's electric
uiilities canceled plans for 184 electrical gener-
ajing units and delayed construction on most
other new units. Delays, particularly for nu-
ctear plants, are getting longer each year.

jower rates of increases in electricity demand,
u filities' financial difficulties, and regulatory
c mplexities are the major reasons for cancel-
I ltions and delays. Continued cancellations
and delays may contribute to increased oil
consumption, greater dependence on for-
eign oil, greater potential for electrical ser-
ice interruptions, and higher electricity
rtes for consumers.

his report pinpoints major problem areas
eeding the continuing attention of the
)epartment of Energy, utilities, and utility
egu lators.
