<br />OuCi?11power Plan~ in Vancouver, B. C. which could provide <br />electricity if the United States supplies low sulphur fuel <br />oil for generation. The decision is now being made about <br />, <br /> <br />~I <br /> <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />whether to use this high-cost electricity to save water <br />for later \lse. <br /> <br />The question of re-activating generating units that <br /> <br />have been put in "retired" or "cold reserve" status <br /> <br />is discussed below: <br /> <br />Three utilities, Portland General Electric Co., <br /> <br />Seattle De~artment of Lighting and Pacific Power & <br />Light Co., iwere contacted regarding the reactivation <br /> <br /> <br />of obsolete units. The conclusion from the discussions <br /> <br />is that there is very little capability available from <br /> <br /> <br />this sourc~ at this time. <br />Portland General Electric Co., reactivated their <br />Station L Plant (approximately 76 MW) at the time of the <br />1973 drought. This plant was deactivated again in <br />1975 and since that time some parts have been removed. <br /> <br />Seattle Department of Lighting currently has two <br />plants whioh are operable but are not being used. <br />The George~own Plant (approximately 23 MW) is not <br /> <br />operating ~ince it does not meet state air pollution <br /> <br />standards. The other plant is Lake Union, rated at <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />40 MW. This plant does meet the pollution regulations <br /> <br />37 <br />
