A federal grain transport coordinator is supported to fix moving bottlenecks.

Calgary Power plans 240000-volt line to new Brooks substation
Calgary Power Ltd. proposes a 43 km 240000-volt line from the Red Deer River to a new Brooks west substation to link Southern Alberta with the Battle River coal plant. The Brooks substation would accept future 240000-volt circuits to Medicine Hat and a 138000-volt line to Taber. The project ties to Alberta Power Ltd. plans and a 360 MW Battle River plant slated by 1981, with an estimated $6.6 million cost and construction aimed for next April. The route runs south from the Red Deer River along Highway 36 to a substation near the CP Rail main line.
