Utility Backs Plan For a $9 Million Power Plant Here
Concord, Dec 1 AP. Public Service Company of New Hampshire executives and lawyers with the three member Public Service Commission will meet in closed session Dec 12. The $88 million utility seeks permission to raise household and commercial electric rates by about $2 million. Avery Schiller, company president, testified that a single standard steam plant at Portsmouth could be more economical than two hydro plants at Franklin and Pontook, costing about $9.75 million but yielding far higher annual output. He noted 350 million KWh per year from Portsmouth versus 72.6 million from the two hydro plants, and suggested a mixed hydro steam approach might best meet the state’s needs. The firm had earlier disclosed plans to build the Portsmouth steam plant by 1953.
