Power pool proves useful in Arizona electric coordination
Tucson Monday evening tested the Arizona electric coordinating committee six major utilities in action as Tucson Gas Electric Light Power failed to receive emergency power from the Salt River Valley Water Users association. Power came via the Arizona Power company plant at Cottonwood with lines from Water Users Central Arizona Light & Power Phoenix and the U S bureau of reclamation. J R Snider said a 5 to 7 pm Parker dam power slash prompted the request to Water Users which could not furnish power while Cottonwood had a slight excess. The shortage is nationwide with California steam plants coming online, and Arizona and Tucson pay the difference between river and steam power costs when extra power is needed.
