The changes basically mean

The plant will burn approx
imately 2.800,000 tons of lignite
per year with the lignite having
a heat content of approxi
mately 6,300 btu's per pound as
opposed to that of the
low sulphur Wyoming coal
currently being utilized which
has a heat content of about 8,250
btu’s per pound
"The lignite will lx* surface
mined near the site by huge
electric draglines and shovels
and transported to the plant
either by rail or by truck, ” said
Stall "The mining and re
claiming of the land already
mined will be going processes
in concert with each other Our
operation will lx- in compliance
with all applicable Statr1 and
Federal laws governing such
procedures
"Over 60<» construction per
sonnal will be employed in the
building of this plant and once
complete and in operation it
will have an approximate life
span of 30 years,” said Stall
Lignite is a fuel of the future
in our area of the country and
one in which we have in great
abundance There are. of
course, difficult areas to be
overcome in the mining and
burning of it, but we are
optimistic that these areas
have been resolved and that we
can now go about the business
of providing a continuing and
reliable source of electric
energy to our expanding area of
the Southwest. Stall con

The vice president pointed
out the net results of the
changes will mean existing
customers with extension tele-
phones will share in a $2,614,560
annual revenue reduction as
the result of the reduced
extension rates In addition,
customers who provide their
own primary telephone will
receive an 85 cent per month
credit.
Hightower siad the extension
rate reduction will become
effective October 1.
Installation and change of
service charges also will
change October 1 Installation
of one residential telephone
generally will range from a
minimum of $35 to a maximum
of$43 Likewise, installation of
one business telephone would
range from $48 65 to $59 15 For
customers with existing ser
vice, changes in service
charges generally will range
from $7 50 to $22 75 for
residence and from $7 50 to $34

G TE ToReduce Rates On Some Charges
Hightower said the PUC
requested all telephone com-
panies to file plans on changes
to bring tariffs in compliance
with a recent Federal Com
munications Commission rules
change The rules changes
make it possible for single line
customers to purchase regis-
tered telephones from non-
telephone company sources
and to directly interconnect
them to the phone company
network
In addition to fulfilling the
requirement of the PUC, we
extended our filing to reflect a
reevaluation of services and
charges in light of the FCC
rules change which requires
competitive pricing." High
tower explained
"To offset the revenue loss by
making extension charges
competitive, our proposal ap-
proved by the PUC was to bring
installation or change of
service charges more nearly in
line with actual costs and place
this cost on customers benefit
mg from the service rather
than making up the revenues
through higher basic monthly
service rates for al) custom-
ers." Hightower said
The company’s five part
installation or change of
service charge includes sepa
rate fees for: (1) paperwork in
establishing records for billing,
etc . associated with the
account. (2) work performed to
connect the customer's service
to the telephone network, (3)
premise visit; (4) customer
initiated premise wiring, and
(5) instrument handling

With two
Wyoming coal units already in
operation, a third well under
construction and a fourth just
-beginning construction,
SWEPCO ' is on its way to
freeing itself from dependency
on rapidly diminishing supplies
of natural gas as a raw energy-
source and replacing it with
coal and lignite
"The addition of this big
lignite plant by 1984, said
Stall, “will mean that in excess
of 70 percent of the power
produced and sold by SWEPCO
at that time will come from
coal and lignite This is an
accomplishment w hich we are
proud "
The utilization of lignite in
the Pirkey Plant will call for
the addition of flue gas
scrubbers, devices necessary
to extract sulphur emissions
from the burned lignite in
accordance with Federal law
These flue gas scrubbers in
conjunction with the electne
static precipitators which will
extract ash from the stack
gases prior to release and a
525 foot chimney which will aid
in dispersion of any remaining
emissions, will make this a
very clean burring plant,
noted Turk "The flue gas will
|>ass through a limestone slurry
spray which will remove the
sulphur from the gases The
sludge which will remain then
will tx- mixed with fly ash
dewatered w ith the water being
reustst and utilized as solid
land bl
At the same time ail of our
customers must realize these
jxillution control facilities, as
mandated by Federal and State
law are extremely costly and
add tens of millions of dollars of
of extra expense to the
completed plant This added
ex|x-nse eventually will have to
tx- txirne by our customers
Uns is not a pleasant thought
for e|e<tri(ity (onsumers. but
one that must tx- realized as the
added cost of complying with
with stringent environmental
regulations
