dian Valley will provide electric ser- vice to one of the pipeline's pump- ing stations south of Cromwell. "This is a huge project," says CVEC's Manager of Operations Cordis Slaughter. "It's been in dis- cussion for two to three years, but actual construction began within the last year. It is the third phase of the pipeline, known as the Keystone- Cushing Extension. As everyone around here knows, this southern portion of the pipeline starts in Cushing and will deliver both Ca- nadian and domestic oil over 400 miles south to refineries on the Gulf Coast near Houston."


He goes on to explain the pipe- line will run about 30 to 40 miles through CVEC's service territory. TransCanada information ex- plains pumping stations are located about every 50 miles along the pipeline.


"The pressure in the pipeline drops after traveling that 50 mile distance," says Slaughter. "The pumps in those stations will use electricity to restore the desired amount of pressure to the pipe so the oil can continue down the pipe- line."


Scott Williams, commercial and industrial marketing manager for Western Farmers Electric, says plans call 902043103 for the sub- station construction to be complete and the substation to be functional this summer. "We've been working on this project for a few years now, so it's rewarding to see it coming together. And the benefits to Canadian Valley and Western Farmers will be im- mediate. Members of both coopera- tives will be affected in a positive way."


"What is attractive about this load is that it is constant. It isn't like a residential load that peaks and drops throughout the day, and it's

not a seasonal load that comes on- line for a few weeks or months each year," says Slaughter.


"This is a constant load that is


online 24/7. That allows for a more efficient use of CVEC's investment." Williams goes on to point out the availability of electric service from WFEC and CVEC's commitment to providing reliable, affordable elec- tric service are two of the reasons TransCanada chose CVEC as the project's power supplier. The benefits of having the pipeline running through this portion of the state will not only be felt by CVEC and WFEC. Local communi- ties are already enjoying the advan- tages.


The construction jobs that


TransCanada has brought to the region are infusing much-needed dollars into those communities. "Pipeline employees are rent- ing motel rooms, and RV parking spaces, they are eating in restau- rants, buying fuel at gas stations, and shopping in local stores," says CVEC General Manager George Hand. "They are improving the economy as school systems and city and county governments are benefiting from the additional tax dollars. The economic boost to these areas from the jobs during construction and the ongoing opera- tion is certainly significant."
