Nome Light & Power Anticipates
Big Expansion In Electricity Needs
Howard Crinklaw, manager of
the Nome Light and Power Co. pre
sented to the Utilities Board a
summary of the work progress for
1962, at their meeting on Tuesday
evening.
In line with the objectives set
forth in the companies plans and
presented to the Council last
March, the following has been
accomplished:
1. A new circuit from the plant
was constructed to serve the load
east of town. This consists of a
new panel in the switchboard at
the plant, new construction from
the plant to a point of intersection
with existing line on Carstens
Way. This new line circuit serves
the FA A facilities east of town,
KICY radio transmitter, VORTAC
site, King Island village and all
other connections east of Carstens
Way.
2. On Front Street, crossarms
have been changed in several lo
cations, resulting in better pri
mary spacing, transformers have
been changed and relocated, sec
ondarys in some locations have
been changed to a larger size.
3. The program of line rebuild
ing in residential areas has been
carried out per schedule.
4. A new radiator was purchased
and installed on the GMC Cleve
land diesel unit generating plant.
5. Repairs and renovation at the
power plant have been made as far
as practical. Fuel nil tanks have
been scraped and painted with rust
retardant paint.
6. The program of meter replace
ment has been continued and will
be carried out until unrepairable
and obsolete meters are retired.
7. The construction of an out
side switch rack has been started
and will be completed as time and
weather allow.
8. Owing to proposed changes
in the utility distribution system
the installation of voltage regula
tors has been deferred until a later
date.
9. The program of general line
rehabilitation is a continuing one
and will be in the schedule for the
coming year.
10. The Cooper-Bassemer unit at
the plant, had a major overhaul
during the past summer. This was

done under the supervision of a
factory engineer. The unit is in
excellent condition and should need
only the annual maintenance over
haul this coming year.
The total capacity of genera
tion units in the plant is 1300 KW,
a peak load in excess of 840 KW
was reached several times during
t’ e past month. If by any chance
it would be necessary to remove
the 600 KW uhit from service, the
plant would be unable to carry the
present total load of the system.
The present loading of the plant,
plus commitments to be met, re
ported the manager, during the
next 18 months period make it
necessary that immediate action be
taken to install additional genera
tion equipment.
Several new additions to the
system were made during the year,
the report stated, including FAA
installations in the housing area,
FSS building at the airport and
the new VORTAC site. New addi
tion at the Nome School; new N.C.
apartments, where electricity is
used for cooking; new electrical
installations at the N.C. Store, con
siderable more in refrigeration
equipment; installation of more
mercury vapor lighting for the
City of Nome.
In the next 18 months addi
tional power will be needed for:
Alaska State Vocational School,
Alaska State Highway shops, addi
tional approach lighting at the air
port, additional power at FSS Bldg,
and VORTAC site as equipment is
installed, proposed water and sewer
system, if bonding is approved.
Service to houses now being
served by USSR and M. Co. and
facilities.
The financial condition of the
utility was reported in excellent
condition, with revenue exceed
ing the preceding year by over
$10,000 and an increase of $4,000
in net income.
