George Van Dyk told the Select Committee that Ontario Hydro must ensure that there is justification for the $5 to $8 billion dollar nuclear rehabiitation plan. On behaîf of Clarington Hydro, the following recom- mendations were made to the commlttee members: 1. The Govemnment must release the White Paper on restructuring the eectricity industry. 2. Ontario Hydro must ensure that other important Hydro assets are properly maintained. 3. Hydro must be made accountable through stricter regulatory enforcement. The panel was told that there are aging Ontario Hydro lines in Clarlngton that are in great need of repair or replacement. These Uines have been the source of numerous power outages over recent months, particularly affecting Newcastle customers. "We've got customers that are hopplng mad over this problem and we don't blame them .. .If there isn't an ade- quate transmission system to deliver electricity to the cus- tomer it wont matter how much generating capacity there is in the province", Mr. Van Dyk told the panel. The 1 Clarington Commission is concerned that massive expenditures on nuclear generating assets wfll compromise expenditures needed to keep the rest of Ontario Hydro's systemn in good workçing order.
