Niagara Mohawk urges Nine Mile II license to meet 40 percent load growth
Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. urged expediting ALC licensing for the Nine Mile II nuclear plant at a Syracuse briefing. The utility projects a 40 percent peak load rise by the late 1970s, driven by housing demand of 80,000 units in its service area, and notes Oswego Steam Station fuel supplies remain sufficient only through April. Nine Mile II would be the third nuclear plant east of the city, with Oswego No. 5 and 6 additions planned, while RG&E contemplates a fossil plant near Sterling. The company predicts a near 2,000,000 kilowatt increase in peak load from this year to the late 1970s.
