prepares to intervene in West

| Kootenay

The Regional District ‘of Central K
ties scheduled to intervene in,late October in West Kootenay Power
and Light's application to the B.C. Eneray Commission for a: rate in-),

crease,

RDCK board members ast week: ap

is listed

‘the par-

einted Castlegar director

Mayor Audrey Moore to’ review: data on, fe Cominco-owned private
utility in preparation for the commission's planned hearings’ on the
proposed increase, despite warnings from Area F director Dave Pearce
that opposition to the rate hike could lead to a B.C Hydro takeover of

the function,

Moore told the board it’

should “express concern over
arate increase of 42 per cent
in thrée. years.”

Moore noted the three
areas served by West Koot-
enay Power “all have differ-
ent rates.”

“The western half has a
different rate from Trail,
Rossland, Warfield, Fruit-
vale and Warfield, and when
we come to the Castlegar
area it has a different rate
structure,” the Castlegar dir-
ector said. “That is sort of an
anomaly in itself.”

Told by Moore that West.
Kootenay Power rates are
cheaper than those charged
by B.C. Hydro, Pearce, who
represents the rural area
northwest of the Kootenay
* River, agreed low rates were
desirable but added that the
board should not “keep: it
down to a point where they

. don't want to maintain that

function.”

“They (West Kootenay
Power) are under some pres-
sure to turn it over to B.C.
Hydro already,” Pearce ex-
plained. “Then we'd be on the
provincial (Hydro) grid and
we'll have no say in the damn
thing.”

“Sure, we've got a lower
rate but we have.a different
Kind of service,” Moore re-
plied. “We have tremendous
surges in our power delivery
from West Kootenay Power.”

“Also, being a. private

the regulations about under-
grounding power lines and
power poles within a city that
Bark “Hydro has to comply
with. So you're ‘getting ‘a
different level of servi
the same time you're getting
a different price.”

“B.C. Hydro service is
ahout three times worse,”
Pearce told Moore. “I have
had occasion to talk to

commercial users and resi-,

dential users in the City of
Vernon and you should hear
their lament.”

The Area F director said
power surges from B.C.
Hydro are greater, and noted
that the Crown power cor-
poration's power is supplied
by West Kootenay Power.

: “They're the only: utility
in North America that has a
irplus of power’ at all
times,” he said. “My concern
is that we do not kill this.”

Asked by Moore’, whe-
ther he thought’ the RDCK
intervention could affect the
continued operation of the
utility by West Kootenay
Power, Pearce said it was
possible “if we have enough
people.”

- “It's that close to the
line,” he gaid, “B.C. Hydro
wants that because then we'll
have no competitive power
company in B.C. That's the
only thing that keeps B.C.
Hydro honest.”

Explaining her reference
to a 42per-cent increase,
Moore told the Castlegar
News later West Kootenay
Power was granted a 12-per-
cent rate increase in 1976.
Although rates vary signifi- _
‘cantly among different users
in the three geographical
areas served by the com-
pany, the proposed new rates,
represent an increase of
about 81 per cent, she said.

“That's almost 10 per
cent a year compounded,”
she said. ss
The first phase — on “all
matters excepting rate de-
sign and tariff charges” — of
the B.C. Energy Commission -_
hearings on the West Koot-
ensy Power rate hike appli-
cation is scheduled to start at
9 am, Oct. 90 at Peebles

in.

During the meeting, it

“It strikes me that the
