PRIVATE Ho. 166 6th May, 1949. The Manager. Australian Blue Asbestos Ltd., WITTEgrOOK GORGE. Dear Sir, TOinrgBIP. POWER SUPPLY. (P.227) The to date Power Cost calculated from figures shown in the Manufacture Report and Wages Disbursement sheet is 5.6d. per KKH. For the Settlement, transmission and distribution costs must be allowed, which we estimate will bring the cost at the Settlement to 7d# per KKH. Kb think, therefore, that a charge of not less than 9d* per KWH should be made and would prefer a rate of iOd. per KWH to be charged* The calculations for the above figures are shown below. The charge per unit may be re duced at some future date when the Power Station is enlarged. Please let us have your comments on the proposed rate.
