Story of Maritime Electric

one of continual expansion

In keeping with its policy of providing a safe and dependable

service to its tustomers through out the province Maritime Electric Company Ltd. has con- tinued a program of expansion and modernization during the past year

Numbers one and three trans mission hnes from Charlotie- town to erbr-oke were tepp- ed up from 33.000 voits to 66,000 volts an? the add of oil cir cuit - breakers and automatic switchgear equinment to the

sub-station at Sherbrooke has

greatly increased thé efficiency of the station \ new office building at Sherbrooke is now

under construction forthe con

venience of customers in the western part of the province Rebuilding of the distribution lines along the Lower Malpeque Road, from Hunter River to New Glasgow and from York to the National Park were also completed during the vear The

capacity of the -sub-station at Dingwell's Mills was also great- y increased‘ with the addition of

a new transformer and voltage regulating equipment. A 13 MVA ransformer was installed at the Charlottetown plant increasing the capacity of the sub- station by 13,000 kilowatts

Over 30 miles of company dis tribution lines were constructed in various parts of the province during the past year and throu- gh the co-operation of the Prince Edward Island Government, ever 58 milés of distribution lin- es were built under the Rural Electrification program

Since the inception of this pro- gram in 1954 more than 1200 miles of distribution have been

In 1964. the first electrically heated homes were built in rince Edward Island and. the advantages of total electric heat- ing are rapidiy gaining favor. The growing demand today is fo. houses which are both warm in winter and « n summer.

fuel systems, while the insula- tion provides a degree of com- fort never before known in Can- adian housing

It has been estimated that by 1970, more than 120,000 dwell- ngs across Canada will have total electric heating. Here in Prince Edward Island, many new homes are in the planning stages and a artment block is now under con- struetion RATE REDUCTION

In Feb ary of tast year, a rate~ reduction domestic users for all consumption ove. 200 kil- | owatts per month from 2 cents to 1% eents per kilowatt hour went into effect. This reduction was made possil.e t rough the increased use of electricity by the consumers and by a more) efficient and ecenomical means‘ of producing energy i
