Hydro is Upgrading Stations Ontario Hÿdfo.is expanding expanding its program to rehabilitate rehabilitate ana upgrade its hydroelectric hydroelectric generating stations, Chairman and President Robert Franklin said today. The program will add almost almost 500,000 kilowatts of generating capacity to the province's power system by 2000. "Thanks to the upgrading upgrading work we've done since 1974, we already have another another 270,000 kilowatts of water-powered generation in place," said Franklin. "This power, produced by what is the least expensive source of generation, helped us to meet the annual increases increases in electrical demand. By continuing our upgrading upgrading efforts over the next 10 to 15 years, we expect to add 200,000 kilowatts more." In total, that's enough power to serve a city the size of London, London, Ontario. To date $24 million has been spent on upgrading of 50 hydro-electric generating units at various sites, ana work is expected on 70 more units at 13 stations. "Hydro currently owns and runs hydro-electric stations stations housing over 260 generating generating units. These units produce one-quarter of the annual electrical needs of this province," said Franklin. Franklin. "Through this program we plan to get the absolute maximum out of these exist- ingplants." Theree are various methods methods available to upgrade the stations. Eugenia generating station, on the Beaver River south of Georgian Bay, has been operating since 1915. The original, 1,000 - metre pipeline that carries water to the turbines was replaced this year and will enable a third unit, which has been out of service almost 20 years, to return to service. At R.H. Saunders generating generating station, on the St. Law-" rence River near Cornwall" the angle of the runner! blades is being changed tot increase the output of the; station. L/J In conjunction with the} upgrading program, Hydro is continuing to overhaul', and maintain hydro-electric; units on a 25-year cycle to return them to "as-new" con-| dition. As well, a dam assess'-" ment program is underway} Started in 1986, this is a sev-J en -year program to examine 1 the condition of the 288 Hy-J dro-owned and operated; dams. Hydro also plans to eval-! uate the conditions and cap> abilities of 34 older hydro;! electric stations which pro! ride 20,000 kilowatts or less; It's expected the generating capacity of these stations can be increased by nearly 50 per cent over the next 20 years.
