G '.~.--"r" REPORT OF THE HUDSON LIGHT & POWER DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMER 31, 1979 e

To the Municipal Light Board of the Toom of Hudson

, Gentlemen: '

This is the 83rd Annual Report of the operations of the Hudson Light & Power Department.

The attached exhibits of this Report cover statistical and financial matters for the period from January 1, 1979 to December 31, 1979.

The table below represents comparison figures of the 1978 and 1979 operating yearh

$ 147,500.00 3.05% $ 175,000.00 3.08 Return in lieu of taxes Increase

$.0184839 per KWH 4.3%

Average Fuel Charge $ 0177188 per KWH The cost of fuel in 1979 was $2.248,013.53 or 41.5% of the total opera $ing expense

$5,415,838.95. This fuel cost is recovered through the fuel charge portion of the electric bill and is a direct pass through without mark ups in accordance with state law.

The total revenue increased 17.5% over last year and reflects the 8.89% higher production, as well as, the increase in the fuel charge per KWH. Total expenses increased by 25.81 This increase was caused by the increased production, the inflationary cost of doing business, as well as, the additional capacity purchase of 2000 KW from the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Unit for 8 months. This additional capacity produced 7.161,600 KWH at a total cost of $151,927.38. The fuel cost for the KWH produced by this unit was only

$28,892.09 or $.00403 per KWH. The addition of this unit saved our customers substantial amounts of money on the fuel charge and therefore limited the gross income while at the same time it increased expenses to the Department.

For many of our customers the soaring prices for energy has create down, to the point where our' residential rates are one of the lowest in the Comonwealth.

Our income only covered our operating expenses because of interest earned from.the .

Depreciation Account. This combined with the fact that the New England Power Company announced an approximately $210,000.00 increase in the System Unreserved Contract, indicates that there must be a substantial rate increase in 1980 in order to keep this Department financially viable.

The above mentioned 8 month 2000 KW capacity acquisition from the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant more than offset the energy loss caused by the 13 weeks shutdown of the Maine Yankee Unit ordered by the Nuclear Regulatory Comission to inspect and to re-calculate the ability of piping supports to withstand certain earthquake conditions. The investigation concluded that the existing construction was safe.

Again, Nuclear generation carried a good share of the Department's total energy require-ments 27.6% compared with 23% in 1978. Total contribution of nuclear generated energy was 34,679,668 KWH in 1979 or 28% over 1978's 27,005.618 KWH and is the highest contrib-

- ution of nuclear generated energy this Department has received so far.

Nuclear energy was 27.6% of our total energy in 1979, however, the attendant fuel cost icf $123,558.00 was only 5.5% of the Department's total fuel cost of $2.248,013.53.

Had the 1979 energy produced by nuclear generation been produced by oil fired generation, 2,509,000 gallons af oil would have been required. At $.765 per gallon a typical figure at yer end, thi'. oil would have cost $1,965,285.00. It now becomes apparent that the I

wisdom of the Municipal Light Board, in approving in the early 1970's life of the unit contracu for the Vemont Yankee, Maine Yankee and Pilgrim #1 units, has preserved this Departmens's competitive stature, i

We had planned an additional installation of a 10,003 KW generation resources at the Cherry Street Power Plant.

The difficulties mentioned in last years report of meeting the requirements of the clean air act, as well as, the prohibition of using oli for new generation as enumerated in the 1978" Power Plant andHowev Industrial Fuel Use Act". have not been overcome as yet.

indications that short tenn generation entitlement may be available to cover our anticipated capacity short fall for the 1983 power year.

Due to the uncertainty involved to procure additional generating capacity for our Cherry Street Plant, no recomendation was yec made to the Light Board regarding the coverage of the anticipated 1983 1984 capacity short fall.

In 1979, the Department paid the Town $32.686.60 for Blue Shield and Blue Cross coverage for employees of the Light Department.

i In addition, the Town was paid $83,014.24 from the Hudson Municipal Light Depart-ment's Employee's Retirement Trust for pensions paid,to former employees of the l Department who are now retired.

The following is a sumarization of the activities of the Line Crew. Fower Plant and Office segments of the Light and Power Department.

The following areas of the distribution system were converted to 13,800 volts to reduce losses and increase capacity: ,

a Richardson Road, Hudson Dudley Road Hudsor.

Chapin Road, Hudson Tower Street. Hudson (Lapoint Building)

Washing h n Street. Hudson (Brooks Drugs & Washington St. M Whitman Street, Stow (Lower End)

Taylor Road, Stow Overhead lines were extended on Shay Road and Dean in Stow.

Three phase 13,800 volt distribution lines were extended on Old Bolton Road, Sto to provide a supply for the new Dats Terninal facility and to allow additional conversion of the area from 8,300 volts.

North Shore Drive and Delaney Street, circuits were relocated and reconducted with storm proof cable.

circuit breaker in the reconditioned switchgear was used to isolate the faulted conductor. The faulted section of circuit was by-passed and service was restored.

The 4160 volt station feed to the cooling tower transformer failed due to worn insulation. The wearing of the insulation occurred in a splice box and was caused running.

In addition, a new "Gould's" industrial battery charger was installed for the necessary D.C. applications in the plant.

The heating system for the Forest Avenue Office had been evaluated in 1978 and it was determined that if it were replaced by a heat pump system an energy savings of The heat pump system was purchased and by approximately 50% could be achieved.

May 1979 had been completely installed with the Theaid of energy 1979 students and instructor consumption for thefrom Assabet Valley Regional Vocational High School.KWH while the 1975 consumption amounted Forest Avenue Facility amounted to 222,000 482,040 KWH. This indicates that the heat pump system produced a savings of 260,040 KWH or approximately 54%. At the present energy costs and these energy savings, the heat pump system will pay for itself in close to two full years of operation.

Computer programs are being written on an on going basis to take advantage even fu of the machine's capabilities, among which is a transformer evaluation program, which determines the transformer that is most economical to purchase and operate.

Use of the computer has increased to a point tFat storage disks are full, preventing the installation and optimization of such useful programs as inventory control, Dole record management, general ledger, accounts payable and transformer loading analysis.
