Hydro will honor NUG
contracts in place
•from page 1
honor its contracts already made
with NUGs.
He said for every megawatt of
energy bought from outside the
co ation, Ontario Hydro would
have o delete one megawatt of
energy its enerating stations pro-
duc
"But there are cracks in .the door.
We will look at NUGs being built
in remote areas that have only
diesel generators."
He added Ontario Hydro does
Intend to move ahead to develop
renewable technologies.
"We want to develop renewable
technologies."'
Labour relations between The
Power Worker's Union and Ontario
Hydro is an issue which Kelly felt
must be addressed.
"The union is against NUGs. The
negotiated contract allows the union
to review the current NUG agree-
ments.
"But that doesn't give the union
veto power over NUGs. It is cer-
tainly an issue ... Hydro didn't
agree to stop NUG development
over the next two years."
He asked how many in the audi-
ence would prefer wind power over
nuclear power.
Nearly everyone raised their hand.
Kelly said farmbrs can expect no
opposition from Ontario Hydro if
they want to produce electricity

from the wind for themselves,, but
they would not be able to sell any
to the provincial grid.
Windmill manufacturer Izaak
Cruzen of Dutch Industries,
Saskatchewan, said the size of the
audience really excited him.
He said he builds 80-100 kilowatt
units.
"I want to sell to the farmer or
those who would consume all the
power. My intent is not to sell to a
utility. Why would you invite some-
one else , to the table to produce
electricity when that's your mandate
in life. I have never wanted to get
involved with a utility."
He said it would cost about
$100,000 for a complete windmill'
package and an extra $30,000 to
install it. The life expectancy of the
unit is about 20 years.

Canadian Agra's windmill
shows efficient operation
by Bev Fry
The windmill on Canadian
Agra property north of Kincar-
dine, has been working so well,
Philip Andres, Canadian Agra
vice president and project
manager for the windmill feels
the next step is to build a five to
ten megawatt wind farm, with
between 10 to 20 600 kilowatt
per hour windmills.
They would supply enough
energy for 500 electrically
heated homes.
He was speaking at the wind
energy seminar held at the
Legion last Thursday.
He told the meeting the 80
kilowatt/hour windmill, a joint
venture between Canadian Agra,
Natural Resources Canada CAN -
MET, Ministry of the Environ-
ment and Ontario Hydro,
operated very well over its first
winter.
"I'm mot a mechanic, I'm a
farmer, but the overall operating
experience was very good:"
'He said •besides 'a vibration
problem in November, the
windmill operated well through
freezing rain and the., excep-
tionally cold temperatures the
area experienced this winter.
The blades of the Lagerway
Industries turbine rotate at 60 to
120 revolutions per minute and
drives a three-phase induction
generator. It was installed at a
cost of $161,000.
From August 1993, when the
windmill was first installed until
the first week of April this year,
it has produced 140,000 kilowatt
hours. He expects it will have
produced 180,000 kilowatt hours
by the end of the year.
Andres didn't say where the
wind farm would be, but he did
say it wouldn't be where" the
present windmill is, close to the
Kincardine airport.
He is hoping a power purchase
agreement could be negotiated
with Ontario Hydro. But with
Hydro already having to deal
with excess capacity, the cor-
poration is not in a position to
accept a NUG, (Non -Utility
Generator).
"We want to get the public
involved," he told the meeting.
He spoke about a shared
ownership structure for load
displacement"
He said Canadian Agra would
build the wind farm and sell to
investors at various levels from
as low as a $2,000 investment to
between $10.000 and $15,000.
"It would be good for busines-
ses who want to convey a green
image."
Andres said the wind farm
could produce about 29 million
kilowatt hours per year,

Child care
facilities
coming to
two Bruce
schools
Plans are now in progress for
child care facilities at two schools
in Bruce County.
Last month the Bruce Board
approved an agreement to rent
space at Amabel-Hepworth school
to Precious Moments Childcare
Centre. This month trustees voted
to accept a tender from the same
company to operate the child care
facility at the school planned for
Sauble Beach.
There was only one tender for the
proposal, ' according to property
committee member Frank Eagleson.
The province has ordered all new
schools to include childcare facil-
ities which will be run in partner-,_
ship with the Ministry of Commun-
ity and Social services, the operator
and the board.
In the case of the Hepworth
school, Precious Moments is paying
for renovation to what is now stor-
age space. It will pay rent to the
board and run its program separate-
ly from school operations.
Trustee Don Tedford, whose wife
works with Precious Moments,
declared a conflict of interest and
left the table while' the Sauble
school child care tender was being
discussed.
