Energy board stalls Medicine Hat power expansion plan
The Energy Resources Conservation Board delayed Medicine Hat's 64 megawatt expansion for three years to help clear a province wide surplus. Mayor Grimm calls the ruling a bargaining chip while TransAlta and other utilities oppose the deferral and the city may reapply or seek board resolution. The city had paid $1 million for a 17 megawatt gas turbine generator for the project.

Farmers cautious on embargo relief despite promised aid
Western grain producers await federal compensation for sales lost to the embargo against the USSR. Alberta farmers welcomed the news but doubt the payout amounts will be sizable until figures are set. Officials note aid is possible but calculating the total will take time due to strong Iraq purchases of Canadian wheat and barley worth about 300 million dollars.

Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil together total about 4.6 million barrels a day, near 10 percent of world supply. With major exporters like the United States and the Soviet Union not exporting, the UN embargo looms large for importers. Energy officials note several crisis tools short of rationing including voluntary demand reduction and conservation.
