CVEA officials met with Katanuska Val
ley Electric management last week in dis
cussion of a mutual power boundary betwee®
the two c•-operatives. At some point be
tween Palm*r and Glennallen, the twt) ce- '
•peratives will eventually meet to serve
the entire, highway populace. The Matanus
#ka Valley Co-eperative presently serves
tfre Glenn Highway frem Palmer to Pile 81.
CVEA new extension now reaches t® the ACS
Tazlina Repeater Station at Kile 145^ leav^
ing approximately 60 miles of the Glenn
Highway residences and businesses without
p|wer. The CVEA agreed to nrovide a
feasibility survey subject to approval by
the* REA, to a new boundary at Kile 94 on
the Glenn Highway. MEA would consequently
plan te* eventually meet CVEA at that point
as feasibility existed.
?he« CVEA Board of Directors, at their
last meeting, reviewed the pewer policy
and unanimously moved to request a power
rate study by REA. The-study would be
made- te, determine* if the electrif load and
