ROSS STRIKE Chairman, Ontario Hydro Faced with only a, moderate increase in electrical consump- tion in 1961, Ontario Hydro shed its traditiona) mantle of devot- ing most of its efforts to supply- ing power. To meet increasing competition from other forms of energy, the Commission and the municipal electrical utilities mounted a major sales effort designed to diversify loads. Hydro's experience during 1961 generaily paralleled the trend of the economy, which emerged from a period of re- cession early in the year and picked up markedly in the third and fourth quarters. WELL UNDERWAY Gains in power demands and revenues over the entire year, however, were slight compared with both 1960 and the long- term average. Preliminary fig- ures indicate demands were up, only 2.7 per cent compared with 3.4 per cent in 1960, Rev- enue increased by 3.5 per cent,| compared with 7.6 per cent in! the previous year. Undoubtedly, the general eco- nomic recovery is well under- way, but based on past business cycles it is likely to level off during 1962, If this holds true, then we expect electrical con- sumption during the coming year to increase by about 6.5 per cent equal to the long-term average. While this could be considered adequate in light of economic trends and the continuing pres- sure of competition, Ontario Hydro and the municipal sys- tems must continue to pare operating costs and introduce economies wherever possible to maintain rates at low levels. Peak demands -- which occur for short periods of the day or year -- are the loads which the Hydro systems must be desig- nated to meet. However, it is not economical] to add plant and equipment primarily to supply s. Demands must be Soted ore: a longer period of| leaving a reserve of 800,000 kilo- time. watts, or 136 per cent. This is Our objective, therefore, is to considered a satisfactory level encourage more diversified use ~ cys of electricity over the 24 hours thereby making the most eco- nomic and efficient use of avail- able capacity To accomplish this, it is necessarv to encour- age a steady growth in the sale and use of al' electrical equip- ment and appliances.

To meet demand and ensure that sufficient reserve power available, we installed - 606,000 kilowatts of capacity during) 1961. This new generation came} from instajlations at Otter Northern Ontario, and at the Lakeview and Richard L. Hearn stations in the south.
