Northern conference proposes on elec tariff charges
A Gloucester visit revealed that the Northern Conference weighs proposed electricity tariff changes. Commercial manager Mr. Davis noted potential extra cost of 0.117 pence per unit under the current agreement with the Railway Commissioner. Council engineer Mr. Reid said a cautionary review suggests the council may benefit from shifting to the Electricity Commission general tariff if bulk-supply terms become unstable. A meeting between Electricity Commission and northern councils is planned to discuss tariffs and related issues while no change to bulk-supply charges is yet implemented.
