The treaty will make it possible to multiply this power to 23.1 billion kilowatt-hours a year and divide the power equally between the countries...
Utility companies greatly underestimate the power potential of New England, Maass said, because they do not think of developing an entire river at one time, but scatter their efforts over a large area. A utility survey gave New England streams a possible 450,000 kilowatt increase, but the Federal Power Commission estimates that 3,000,000 kilowatts can be added to the present total...

Italian geologists believe that the output, both of chemicals and power, can be increased considerably, hence the new power plant...
