LOWER POWER NEEDS
Reduction Welcome “Compared with last year’s estimates of future demand for electric power there is a reduction in energy requirements in the early part of the period, and an increase later,” says the report of the Planning Committee on Electric Power, tabled in Parliament by the Minister of Electricity, Mr Shand. “Peak demand is less in most years, but the charges are not large and do not significantly alter the position from the planning point of view. “Because of difficulties in obtaining local authority approval, there is now no possibility of the 50,000 kilowatt gas turbine plant at Otahuhu substation being commissioned by next April. The reduction in energy needed last year is therefore particularly welcome, although not sufficient to offset loss in generation. It is assumed the plant will be available in 1968.”
