WHAT IS ENERGUIDE? . •
Energuide is an appliance label-, .
ling program under which energy con-
siunskiont,”stickers" are ittachedp new
refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers,
clothes washers, and kitchen ranges
offered for salein Ganada. The pro-
gram was initiated by the Government
of eithada and is'operated in ai-opera-
tion with consumergroups, appliance
manufacturers and rettiilers,.electrical
utilities and provincial governinents.

COMPARISON SHOPPING
The Whole idea behind arierguide
to help you, the consumer, to compare the
energy cost,tags of appliances and,deter-
mine which is the best buy. Comparison shop-
ping and wise decisions can save you a great
deal of energy and money over the long run.
HMV DOES ENERGUIDE
WORK? •
The label on each new appliance shows
the number of kilowatt hours of electricity
fkWh) consumed by that appliance in one
month of /formal operation. This rating is
determined by a test developed by the
Canadian Standards Association for all
appliances labelled. The number is represent-
ative of the energy that the appliance will con-
sume under normal operation in'your Male.
It's not exact; the test could never duplicate
precisely all the conditions in your home. Hut
it is correct as a compqrative rating, to
indicate the difference between models.

To convert the Energuide rating in kWh
to dollars, multiply by the cost of a kWh in
your area. (The current national average is
per kWh.) This will give you the operating
cost for one month.
kWh per month x cents per kWh = cost
per month.
•
WORK OUT THE
LIFETIME COST
To really appreciate the importance, of-
Energuide ratings, figure out the lifetime
major appliance lasts 15 years, or 180
months.
Multiply the cost per month by I 80 and
the number you get will be impressive. And it
will be an underestimate, because it assumes
a conStant electricity price over 15 years. •

Hydro antwio
. LONDON—Ontario Hydro
nnnounced its selection of a
preferred system plan" for
delivering power from the
Bruce Nuclear . Power
Development (BNPD) and
improving supply • to South-
western Ontario at a press
conference here Oct. 29.
Selected from six alter-
natives, the plan • recom-
mended by Hydro calls for a
500,000 -volt transmission line
between Bruce NPD and a
new transformer station in
the London area and another
500,000 -volt line joining this
station with the MithIleport
transformer station south of
Hamilton. The length ,of the
two lines is about 300 km.
The plan also provides for
new 230,000 -volt lines to
connect the London tran-
sformer station • with the
existing bulk transmission
system.
The recommended plan
calls for the construction of
one two -circuit 500 kV line
from Bruce down through
Huron and Middlesex count-
ies to the proposed new
station south of London and
one one -circuit 500 kV line
across to iVIiddleport.
Chairman Hugh Macaulay
who made • the an-
nouncement, said Hydro had
no recommendations in June
when the siX alternatives
were announced.
"At that time, we did not
recommend any one plan,
but rather, invited the public
to° join us in analysing the six
alternatives and assist us in
selecting a preferred plan.
"Well, we asked for public
inVolvement and we got it:
from those who attended the
information centres, from
municipalities and eJectrical
utilities, and from in-
dividuals representing
special interests. And
especially from a number of
working groups reflecting a
broad range of concerns
within the study area," said
Mr. Macaulay.
"After considering the
onstructive i n pu t
throughout the public in-
,
VolVeineint program,
together with the results of
envronmental. technical
and economic. Minuet, We
are recommending Plan 1
for approval Today (Oct.
29), we -filed our 'preference,
• included in a four -volume
Environmental Assessment,
with the Ministry of the En-
vironment.'
While Mr. Macaulay
praised the • input of the
Southwestern working.
groups, one group, the
Central working group in-
' volving representatives
• from the counties of Huron,
Perth, .Waterloo and
- Wellington, did not par-
ticipate throughout the
summer.
At its first meeting in
Listowel on July 9, the
Central group, dominated by
farm group representativesy
voted to postpone Its part-
icipation until after th
harvest season. The Central
working group is scheduled
• to meet with Hydro again
this month.
The public and the
government will now have
the opportunity of reviewing
the Environmental
Assessment," Mr. Macaulay
said. "I understand that the
Ministry of the Environment
plans to publish the results of
the government review by
Dec. 15, and will call for
hearings to begin early in the
new year under the Con-
solidated Hearings Act."
It is expected the gover-
nment will approve a plan by
June 1982 afterwhich Hydro
will commence its route
stage of the program.
According to Mr.
Macaulay, Plan I was
selected by a process of
eliminatiOn.
"The decision was made
after the working groups had
narrowed down their
preferred choice of plan to
two, namely MI and M5.
Ontario Hydro's own
analysis resulted in a
preference for the same two
Pians.
"Both are excellent plans
technically, and are Om -
parable in capital cost. The
first plan, however, has
higher long-term • costs
because of greater tran-
smission line losses
•assoeiatedwith it.
.
"The biggest advantge**
Plan 1 over all Other plans it
that it represents .the. best
option from an overall en-
vironmental perspective. In
terMS of its Potential effect
on agriculttire, the plan 're-
quires the least number of
transmission towers Of any
of the plans; and calls for
• only one line from Bruce to
• London . as compared with
tworequired by Plan S."' •
According to Hydro's Plan
Stage Environmental
Assessment, the disad-
vantages of Plan 1 "Arise
from affecting the Bruce to
London to Middleport area,
the need lo construct all
facilities in the initial year,
and the absence of a Bruce to
Barrie link."
Other disadvantages noted
y Hydro for Plan I are: a
/potential for a high effect on
specialty crops; the outage
of a double circuit line will
