Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-09-18, Page 17'44 5 Record demands on Hydro during ot sunniter (ays Ontario electricity users continued placing record demands on the province power system in July just.as they -lid in June as hot, humid Weather became the norm for the 'summer of 1975, On 'Monday, July 7 a record peak demand for the month was established when 11,885,000 kilowatts were being drawn for the system, an increase of 3,3 per cent over July, 1974. During the month the provincial primary energy demand totalled 6,593,933,000 kilowatt-hours, an increase of 1.9 per cent over July, 1974. Labor prob'reTns at a few large industrial consumers helped lighten these total enerigy demands. In order to meet the demands for electricity, Ontario Hydro drew on all types of generation aswell as purchasing power from neighboring provinces. Of the total provided, 38,5 per cent came from hydraulic stations, 21.6 per cent from coal, 11.5 per cent from nuclear, 8.6 per cent ,from natural gas and the remaining 19.8 per cent 'was purchased. The percept e coming from hydraulic �Ujces was down /considerably fi-orn July, 1974's 46.2 percent, This reflected the fact , that water floWs-, have declined in most areas of Ontario where Hydro has •hydraulic stations. As a result the "lost" generation hadjb be replaced by energy from rhore costly coal and gas fired stations. On July 31, the fifth unit at the coal-fired Nanticoke generatingstation on Lake Erie. was declared in-serVice., As a result, the Nanticoke station, with a capacity of 2,500,000 kilowatts, became the largest single source of electricity in Ontario. Annual maintenance programs carried out in summer months when less power is needed in Ontario continued during JUIy. Work on the replacement of cracked pressure tubes in Unit 4 at the Pickering. nuclear station continues with the expectatioh that the unit will return to service later this year: anaitra Rec.
