Ontario Hydro Eyes Land for 2,000 MW Plant Near Port Hope
Ontario Hydro will acquire about 730 acres at Wesleyville five miles west of Port Hope for a power plant site. Chairman George E. Gathercole said intensive investigations show the location can handle a 2,000 megawatt station, likely nuclear or fossil fuelled. No construction start date set, but early site acquisition is needed to time equipment deliveries. The lake-front land was optioned six months ago for exploratory tests.

Orono Hydro Rates Retained Despite Power Cost Rise
Orono Hydro Manager Mel Downs told the commission no rate increase is needed this year, despite higher hydro costs from Ontario Hydro. He cited a 3,000 dollar current year bill and a projected 1,500 dollar rise in 1969, noting Toronto rates up about ten percent. The report shows 4,419 dollars in the hydro account after January bills and 225 dollars in water. Downs urged raising the prompt payment discount to 10 percent, repainting all fire hydrants, and asked for elected officials to attend the upcoming Ontario/AMEA convention in Toronto. Considerable discussion focused on storing hydro equipment in the municipal building and moving offices to the front.
