ELECTRICITY CONTROL
RELAXATION INDICATED. (P.A.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Oct. 8. “Now that the system peak loading for this year appears to have passed the procedure which was necessary to control the load in cases of emergency as indicated on May 25, 1943, will be discontinued,” wrote the Electricity Controller (Mr F. T. M. Kissel) in a letter received by the Opunake Electric Power Board to-day. Mr Kissell warned, however, that it was still necessary for all supply authorities to continue efforts to conserve electricity. “The system maximum weekly units generated this year increased by 3.54 per cent., and the system peak load by 5.G2 per cent. Increases were over the maximum for 1942. “The position is still being carefully watched, and those supply authorities who continue to exceed their allocation will be communicated with. It is anticipated that only a very small net percentage increase will be available next year, and in your own interests it is advisable to reduce consumption now in order to meet the new limits which will be necessary for'next year.”
