The first step, under the Parsons
cooperative Plan would be the
construction of 10000 XIV gas tur-
bine generator at Anchorage, to
eliminate that Citys present power
shortage. The plant, which could be
installed and operating during 1868,
would fill the immediate require
ments. and then could be used as
peaking unit when the steam
plants are in operation.
Gas Available
The gas plant was suggested be-
cause of the availability of gas in
the area and because such units give
increased performance and higher
output during times of lower tenn
peratures-just when the additional
power is needed most. The plant
would cost in the neighborhood Of
$1680,0O0
By 1964-1965, two $4,000 XIV steam
generating plants would be in
stalled, one at Sutton, located about
II miles from Palmer and adjacent
to the Matanuska River and the
Sutton coal fields, and the other
located at Healy, adjacent to the
Nenana River.
