EKLUTNA POWERPLANT PRODUCED OVER
127 MILLION ENERGY HOURS HI 1956
It was announced today that
the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation
Eklutna Hydroelectric Project
has just finished its second year
of operation and the first year
of opeation in which both gen
erators were in service the entire
year. The second generator was
put on the line early in April
1955.
During 1956 the Eklutna pow
er plant produced a total of 127,
074,700 kilowatt hours of energy
for transmission. Of this amount
332,400 kilowatt hours was deliv
ered on an exchange basis to
the military. Of this amount
258,000 kilowatt hours had been
returned to the Bureau by the
end of the year, leaving a net
of 74,400 kilowatt hours. Of the
total generation 4,021,794 kilo
watt hours, or 3.1 percent, were
transmission losses, leaving a net
of 122,978,506 kilowatt hours de
livered for sale. Average rate to
all customers of the project was
10.59 mills per kilowatt hour.
As compared with 1955, there
was an increase of 21,053,200 kilo
watt hours sold in 1956, or 20.5
percent. Cost to the customers
remained practically the same in
1956, 10:59 mills compated with
10:48 mills for 1955 or an increase
of one percent. Had not 7,342,462
kilowatt hours been sold in 1955
during the start-up period as non
firm energy at six mills, the cost
to customers in 1956 would have
shown a slight decrease over
last year.
During 1956 the powerplant
was required to carry a maxi
mum load of 26,000 kilowatts.
This is 5,000 kilowatts over the
maximum load of 21,000 kilowatts
carried in 1955, or an increase
of 23.8 percent. The Eklutna
powerplant has a capability of
35,000 kilowatts, leaving 9,000 kil
owatts of operating margin for
load growth. The maximum civil
ian load for the entire Anchor
age-Palmer area in 1956 was 33,
500 kilowatts.
In the past year construction
was started on a new substation
at the old Eklutna hydop’ant.
This is a joint venture by the
Bureau of Reclamation and the
Matanuska Electric Association
of Palmer. When completed
sometime in the late spring or
early summer it will provide an
additional delivery point for the
MEA system.
Design and procurement of
equipment for a new bay at the
Anchorage substation was start
ed. This facility will provide an
additional switching bay and
point of delivery for the Chug
ach Electric Association and is
expected to be completed next
fall.
In August of 1956, a washout of
the Eklutna-Palmer 115-kv trans
mission line due ta.the Lake Geo
rge break-up and the Knik River
flood was experienced. As a re
sult surveys are now underway
to determine a route for reloca
tion of about six miles of line,
possibly by way of the Knik Riv
er brifje. It is hoped that the re
location can be completed before
the end of 1957.
During the past year two con
tracts were negotiated with
Elmendorf Air Force Rase. One
is to provide a mutual emergency
standby arrangement without
cost to either party. This arran
gement provides a greater relia
bility of both the military and
civilian power systems in the
area. The other is to provide for
sale of the nonfirm energy over
and above the civilian customers
requirements to Elmendorf Air
Force Base.
The report states that 1956 was
a good water year. It appears
that there is sufficient water
stored in Lake Eklutna to meet
all power load requirement for
the coming year with some to
spare.
