SASKATOON STAR-PHOENIX, SATURDAT, APRIL 18, 1958 Believes Development of Fort a la Corne Project Potentially Possible in 5 Years MELFORT. Development of the Fort a la Corne power project on the North Saskatchewan river would be potentially possible in about five years, W. B. Clipsham, chief engineer of the Saskatchewan Power Corporation, said in an address here recently to the Board of Trade, He maintained the development, which would have to compete with result saving. There developed power, would not might be a saving of two mills per kilowatt hour but to save 000 at a two mill margin was not very effective.

Comparing the Fort a la Corne power project and the South Saskatchewan river dam irrigation project at Outlook, Mr. Clipsham said they were entirely different. Fort a la Corne was a power development only with little chance of the site being developed into a recreational centre while the Outlook dam would not be used for power but only for irrigation and possibly with some facilities for recreation. Mr. Clipsham believed that assurance of early construction of the Outlook dam would advance the date at which Fort a la Corne of become Mr.

practical, Features Clipsham's Po- adwas "Some of tential Hydro- Development at Fort Corne." It was the sequence to the subject being discussed at the board's annual meeting when it was asked what effect the Outlook dam, if and when it was built, would have on the Fort a la Corne project and also on the Carrot river delta land reclamation plans. After reviewing some of the history of the La Corne project and recognizing that back as far as the late 1920's private interests had made application to the government for the right to develop this power with a suggested 90,000 HP, this to be contingent upon the outcome of further surveys and studies. There had not been at that time sufficient study of that section of the riveer, to determine its power potential, the He said that the government was asked to give natural resource of unknown and at "Falte the same time incur the risk that it might not be developed at all or in such a manner which would not develop its full capabilities, Mr. Clipsham said that in order to get a proper appraisal of the value, engineers were retained by the government to conduct a preliminary engineering study of the physical and economic feasibility of power development on the Saskatchewan river, Their prelimin-125 ary report, submitted in 1930, dicated that the development was possible and that the economic possibilities for utilization were such that a thorough study in detail was warranted. In 1931 what is called the final report indicated that could be economically developed at a site near Fort a la Corne and that the energy output could be absorbed at Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina Moose Jaw at a saving in competition with local steam plants, The cost was estimated at $12,000,000 for the dam and power house and $7,000,000 for transmission facilities.

By this time, the speaker said, the great depression was on and the depth and duration of the depression could not be anticipated. By the' time the report could be digested the difficulties in financing such a project prevented any action being taken. At the close of the war, again engineers were retained to review their studies in the light of current costs and power consumption. Their 1946 report found that construction costs had risen some 35 per cent since 1931 and the competitive position of steam generated power had improved owing to the use of larger and more efficient units. It was not then possible for Fort a la Corne to compete with steam generated power lat the larger centres with current fuel prices.

The cost of dam and power house was then estimated at $17,000,000 and transmission facilities to Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina and Moose Jaw as at $9,000,000 Mr. Clipsham said, speaker recalled that in laosin. a and further then check found had another been upward revision in estimates to between $30,000,000 and $34,000,000. Increased capital cost necessarily meant an increase in the cost per kilowatt hour. He said it would that a much larger now appear proportion of the full output of the development must be used before it could compete with steam plants.

Each time an analysis had been made, Mr. Clipsham said it had been apparent that the system demand was not yet great enough to support the development. The speaker recognized the benefits to be derived from cheap hydro-electric power. It had been developed elsewhere, and here was a large block of power running to waste a and why could it not be developed. In hydro-electric plants the largest item was capital cost, the speaker said, cost was practically non -existent, operation and per cent maintenance was.

Reply to CANORA ELECTRIC HEATING Canora, Saskatchewan PAGE TWENTY- THREE NOTICES in-determining feature 1 in kilowatt hour cost was mainly the ratio between capital cost and kilowatt hour cost was mainly the ratio between capital cost and kilowatt hour output. Mr. Clipsham, who has visited the site, noted that river flows were subject to seasonal and annual variation. Only the dependable flow could be utilized in cost analysis, otherwise there was shortage in the flow periods and auxiliary fuel plants would have to (be built to make up the deficiency.

On the Saskatchewan river the opportunities for storage were limited, he said, There were no lakes which could be used as reservoirs. However, he declared, there were many other aspects of the problem well worthy of attention. He used a map to show how the present plans were being extended in such a way as to make the use of La Corne power available at some future time between La Corne and Saskatoon area, Had Fort la Corne not been in the picthe line might have been build direct from Prince Albert to Saskatoon. The project was not deferred indefinitely and it was not in competition with the South Saskatchewan dam project but in competition with the present steam outputs. The South Saskatchewan dam would store the whole flood flow and the La Corne project would only have to contend with the North Saskatchewan flow.
