ELECTRIFICATION OF RURAL AREAS
Milan Petrović
Abstract
Analyses of data gathered by the census of individual agricultural households
in Yugoslavia as well as data about the rapid postwar increase of production of
electricity, leads the author of this article to the conclusion that the number of agricultural households with electric facilities rapidly increased. Up to the 1940
there were in Yugoslavia only 15,9% agricultural househodls with electricity, but
in 1960. that procentage increased to 39,7%.
According to author's estimates, based on the tendency of fast increase of
exploitation of power resources and the construction of electric facilites in agricultural
areas in the period 1960—1963, it can be surely regarded that the procentage
of agricultural households in Yugoslavia with electricity laid on in their
houses, is considerably higher nowdays in comparison with 1960.
