Manitoba Electrical Usage Rises in February 1978
Manitoba energy use climbed 8.9 percent in February 1978 from a year earlier as temperatures ran 20 percent colder than February 1977. Hydroelectric generation dominated at 89 percent of output, aided by water conditions improved over drought year 1977 and capacity additions at Long Spruce and Jenpeg. The 12 month period to February 28, 1978 shows hydraulic generation still below long term average due to drought effects, while surplus sales to U.S. utilities boosted revenue amid colder weather and coal strikes, with possible staff reductions noted in a Manitoba civil service letter.
