Kissimmee, Florida Marks 105 Years of Electric Service
Kissimmee, FL (ContentDesk) June 28, 2006 - Today marks the 105th anniversary of municipally-owned electric service in Kissimmee, Fla.It was during a Kissimmee City Council meeting on June 28, 1901, that a resolution was passed authorizing the city's purchase of Kissimmee Electric Light Company from W.C. Maynard for 4,293.59.Maynard, a Kissimmee resident, had owned and operated the private power company in Kissimmee under contract with the city since December 4, 1900.Upon the purchase, a committee was appointed by the council to manage the electric system.Kissimmee is the fifth oldest municipal utility in the state, following Starke (1890), Jacksonville (1895), Ocala (1897) and Williston (1900). In addition, Kissimmee residents had electricity 22 years before their counterparts in Orlando (1923).The utility's first purchase was a 15-kilowatt generator in 1901 -- enough to power just 150 100-watt lightbulbs or 12 personal hairdryers. That was followed by the addition of three diesel generators in the 1920s to serve the approximately 200 electric customers in Kissimmee at that time.Not until the opening of Walt Disney World in the 1970s did the utility begin experiencing tremendous customer and energy demand growth.Today, KUA (www.kua.com) is the sixth largest municipally-owned utility in Florida, serving 58,000 electric customers in Osceola County..

(ContentDesk) November 18, 2005 -- Natalie Chew, of Generators Express (http://www.generatorsexpress.co.uk), believes that demand for generators will rocket as households and businesses in the UK ready themselves for what could be a winter of power cuts. There is increasing concern that Britains natural gas reserves will run dangerously low in the event of a cold winter. This would force the government to shut down gas-burning power stations in order to maintain uninterrupted gas supplies to households. Around 40% of the UKs electricity is generated by gas power stations and shutting them down would lead to prolonged periods or power cuts across much of the country. Furthermore, several indicators suggest that this winter could be particularly severe.Households and small businesses are turning to generators as emergency power backup solutions.
