Suppliers Pliotographs of Con,struction Neewspaper clippings General Although the area of Australia is nearly 3 million square miles, or roughly the size of the continental United States, the central and western parts of the country consist largely of sandy and stony desert of limited economic value, In the east and southeast, and to a somevThat lesser extent in the nQrtheast, water is more plentiful; and the land is wtell suited to agriculture. There are substantial mineral resources, among them gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, iron and coal in large quantities. Australia is still a relatively new country, snd her pattern of devJel- opment is follo'7ing that of the United States, except at a much accelerated tempo. In 1880, her population of 2-1/4 million persons wias predominantly agricultural. Since this date, she has, with occasional interruptions such as the world-wide depression of the Thirties, cons4.stently been receiving Lnmmigrants on a large scale. The population doubled by 1910, and in. the last forty years has praotically doubled again to reach 8 rmi.llion. At the end of 1wb10rld T"ar II, Australia inaugurated a vigorous program for stimulating immigration with a goal of approximately 200,000 iniiigrants per year. The program is partially state-financed and is co-ordinated w,rith the resettlement program of the InternatiQnal Refugee Organization. Since approximately 55% of the total area of the Commonwrealth is suitable for pastoral, agricultural and industrial labor, the Australians believe that their country can easily support three or four times its present population of a million at an a.cceptable standard of living.., Sonme 370,000 "permanent" migrants have arrived since the beginning of 1947, nearly 200,000 of them in the last twelve months. The current rate is twice as great, ip proportion to Australiata population, as the peak movements fr-oim Europe to the U. S. A. around the turn o.f tlhe century. 2. 'rhile admitting that such a large program may cause some temporary pressures on the standard of living, nevertheless the immigration polioy envisages a total population of l1 million by 1960.* lithout the implem,en- tation of the immigration p.rogram, the norma' increase in population by 1960 should bring the tQtal to only 8-3/4 million. It should be izientioned here parenthetically that the Australian immigration programn, in addition to benefiting Australia, is likewmise of substantial benefit to those countries of Eiurope vThich have unemployment due to excess population, and from which countries a substantial number of new,> immigrants are being recruited. The increase in populkation which has been accelerated by the influx of immigrants now aiaounts to 3-l/2/0 a year and has, as a result, put a severe strain on the oapital requirements of the country in terms of transport, production equipment, housings povwer, etc. At the samie time., Australia has been developing her om industries, a process wvhich has been accelerated during hd since W'Torld !,`Tar II. Mlanufacturing employment has increased by about 60% since 1939; indeedc, vwith over one third of her wage and salary earners employed in factories, Australia has become ozZe of the most highly industrlialized countries in the world. .Thile Australian exports have remained prS.marily wvool, wheat and flour, meat, dairy products, gold and non-ferrous metals, imports have come to consist more and more of equipment and raw materials for agricul- twe and industry, rather than finished consumer goods, Almost all capital investmnent iw,as curtailed during the l:rar except that which wvas ciziectly connect.ed w,ith Aiustralia' s relatively large aa d imnpressive war effort. Accordingly, since the termination of the 11ar, it has been necessary for Aurtralia to embark upon a vigorous investment program designed to make good the deficiencies of the "Tar period and to 3. keep pace with the strong upward trend in the population. This program is substantially supported by the importation of capital such as the .2"l100 million loan granted to Australia by the International Bank for Reconastruction mnd Development in August, 1950. The purpose of this loan is to cover the foreign exchange costs of a wide variety of capital goods for both private enterprise and for specialized governmrlent agencies such as the electricity commissions of the several states. The r esults of this effort have been impressj.ve, as is indicated by the fQllowing produQtiQn statistics for the fiscal years 1938-39 and 194g9-50: Uni 1L938 -39 1949-50 Building materials Portland cement 000 tons 868 1,159 Fibroits plaster sheets 000 square yards 7,6Q5 12,l171 Roofing t-iles, cement and terracotta thousands 3927O0 82?600 Paints and lacquers 000 gallons 3,267 7,169 Sawn native timber million square feet 717 1,220 Textiles Cotton yarn 000 2,bs. nja. 29,816 Trorsted and woolen yarn 000 lbs. 32,1500 148,300 Cotton and rayon woven textiles 000 square yards n*a. 31,5$.34 Wroven cloth of wool 000 square yards 31,600 38?900 O ther Floor covering 000 square yards n.a. 715 Industrial chemicals 000 tons 1,712 2,139 Iron and steel 000 tons 3,1393 3,338 Internal combustion engines number noa. 29,837 Eleotric motors number noa,7 394,35o Domestic refrigerators 000 30 153 Boots and shoes O00 pairs 13,967 15f,346 Newsprint COO tons ni l 31 Pneumatic tires 000 ?,198 2,858 Gas million atibic feet 2Lt72 3L4o709 4.

Sowuro: T.fonthly Bulletin of Overse4s Tr4de Statistics, Qommonwvealth Bureau of Census and Statistics, Qanlerra Australia, The Australian Power Situation I. Fuel With minor exception, practically all the present generating capacity in Australia is thermal, due to the lacck of hydro-electric resources on the main cont.nent although the long-range development program of the Common- wealth envisages the installation at some future date of some additional hydro-electric generating capacity as part of the program for irrigation and water conservation. As part of this progra- , work is advancing on the Keiwa hydro-electric project, of the Victoria State Electricity Commission, estimated to cost !A 25 million,, which'will prorvide five underground and, one surface power station. If construction schedules of this proiect are met, it is x-pected that Victorials povrer generating capacity will be increased by approximately 15000 kw in 1953, 61,000 kr in 195)4, and additional quantbities progressively thereafter. The island state of Tasrn?nia, however, possesses relativel-y important hydro-electric resoirces which are being developed and vwill in the near future be used for the production of primary alurinum. The ultimate power potential of Tasmania is estimated to be approximately 650,000 1Xw and offers interesting potentialities for the development of industries which are large users of prime povrer. Bituminoous and brovm coal constitute the prinQipal souroes of fuel for the operation of the Australian powver system, of vhich the Commonwvealth has substantial actual and probable reserves, the total being estimated at 24,500 million long tons. In the year 1950, Australia produced approx- ixmately 18 million tons (bituminous coal basis) of coals of all character, the largest part of which comes from the State of New South 'irales. The black, coal is conveniently located near the centers of population, so that transport to the powver generating stations in New South 7Tales and Queensland is not a serious problem. The coal resources of Victoria consist almQst solely of browgn coals, some of vwhich are briquetted for power station and industrial consi.imption in that state. Much of Victoria's electricity is produced at the brovm coal fields and transmitted to load ceniters, Australiats consumption of coal, hovever, has grown more rapidly than its production and thus 6. necessitated the ilmport of upwards of 50O,000 tons of coal in 1950 The development planis of the Coal Board, however, visualize self:-suficiency wvithin the next few years, and supplies of 'fuel should thus be of; no serious concern to the development of tlhermal powJr. Some of the existing plant was designed to burn high grade coal which is now not available in adequate quantities, necessitating the de-rating of the plantk All the plants inptalled and on order since the PTrar (including the package units) are designed to burn low grade coals, wihich will, mnaterially aid the over-all fuel problem in Australia. 2. Administrative Control The development of power resources in Australia is novw largely con- centrated in the hands of state commissions with responsibilities limited to territory within the state boundaries. While there are six regulatory electric authorities in Australia, this memorandum concerns only the States of New South 1,Tales, Victoria and Queensland, wrhich contain the urban popu- lation centers and the preponderance of industrial development of the counktry. It is %wrorthjy of emphasis that approximately 90% or more of the installed capacity of each of the states is interconnected. The remainder represents powqrer generated at industrial installations or small power plants, located beyond an economic distance for interconnection. There is no interconnection between the povwer systems of the States of Newii South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, It is apparent that under present cond4tions the distuances betwveen the population centers of the respective states is so great as to make interconnection of the state systems neither economical nor practical, Howrever, the rapid increase in population in these areas, as wTell as the continued industrial expansion, will make such interconnection justifiable in the future, 3. Projected Loads Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a :map showing the location of each existing and projected power stabion (including the package plants), together with the major high tension transmission lines of each state. Supplementing this map are Tables 1, 2 and 3, showving the existinog povwer plants in the tnree states under consideration in this memorandum, with date of installation, the maximum continuous capacity, and actual plant output. These tables highlight the fact that the output of a number of stations has declined severely dbe to the drop in stenam generator output caused by either obsolescence, the need for burning grades of fuel for w,.Thich they were not designed., or both. There are also included Ta-bles 4, 5 and 6, which are complete schedules of orders placed (excluding the package powvrer plants) bDy the three commissions, as part of their postw7iar power expansion program. Owing to emergency restrictions, it is difficult to determine accu- rately the prepent rate of anmual demand increase in Australia. YYith the release of a pent-up demand for electricity immediately after the conclusion of th1e war 'in the Pacific, the resumption of house building, the marketing of a wide range of electrical appliances, the extension of supply into rural areas to assist primary production, the expansion of basic and secondary industries, the influx of migrants and, latterly, the rearmament program, the demand for electricity has increased at an acceler- ated rate each year. The best estimate that can be made at present is an absolute milnimrum Qf 9%, but perhaps a nIore realistiQ figure Would be close to 13%, which was the rate immediately preceding the imposition of restric- tions. Taling into oonsideration the rapidly expai,ding industrial development of Australia, as well as the accelerated increase in population, these estimates are believed to be both conservative and realistic. Demand is at present 50% industrial, the balance divided beti.wjeen domestic and commercial users. The relatively mild ctliiate of Australia, as well as the absence of wide temperature fluctuations, presents ideal conditions for domestic space heating instead of central heating syotems. There has been no recal growth in the use of central heating apparatus, 4. Long-range Progrm During the War, not only could no substantial additional povwrer gener- ating capacity be installed, but it was extremely difficult and in sme cases impossible to Qbtain adequate repair and replacement parts. As a consequence, Australia found herself at the close of the V'rar with a sub- stantial deficit in terms of povwer and, worse still5, wArith some plants which had undergone accelerated obsolescence due to an inability to keep equipment in proper operating condition. By reference to Tables 1, 2 and 3, it will be noted that the output of a number of stations has declined severely due to the drop in steam generator output. The elec- tricity commnissions of the three States of Neew South "rales, Victoria and Queensland placed orders (described in Tables 4, 5 and 6) for additional thermal equipment, to reduce the deficiency in plant capacity and to compensate for the lack of maintenance and repair during the W"ar, as w!rell as to take care of increasing demand. The shortages of materials and the heavy demand on the equipment manufacturers in Great Britain, on wYhichi most of the orders wuere placed, has resulted in serious delays in the delivery of the equipment summarized on the tables above referred to. Nevertheless, several generating units have been delivered and installed, and the major components of other turbine generators and boilers are nowv reaching an advanced stage of 9. completion. There is one complicating factor, howevTer, which may make the anticipatod operatin- dates more of a hope than a reality. From the earliest days of electriJcity generation in Australia, the major plant components have been supplied from Great Britain. ',TYith t1he development of Australiats secondary industries, however, increasin,,y larg, proportions of the components have been manufactured in Australia. V4ost of the power station construction has been carried out by contractors to designs and specifications prepared by the staff of the generating autliorities. The contractors for the major items of turbo-alternators and boilers are Australian companies which obtain such itemus as the turbo- alternators and high,pressure drums and fittings from their associated companies in C-reat Britain, and let local subcointracts Lor such auxiliary items as condensirng and feed heating, plants, boiler tubing and supporting steelwrork. Consequently, the generating authorities generally provide only- the technical staff to let and supervise contracts and to co.ordinate the work of constr1aotion which is largely in the hands of several major contractors and numerous subcontractiors. Under normal conditions, this nmethod of assembly is logical from the standpoint of cost and maxiymm utilization of domestic prociuction facilities. But political and mailitary events of the last year, with the resulting shortages of essential rmiaterials and components, have completely dislocated contractorst starting-up schedules. 5. The Povwer Emerpency The chart attached as Exhilbit, 2 shoius graphically and dramatically the ever-wi.idening gap betwreen povier demand and generating facilities. 10. This chart gives details of all existing plants on order, incluiding the package units. It cannot be !'Ooo strongly stressed that even with the installation of the package units and the continued drastic curtailment of consumption, the deficiency between generating capacity and absolute minimum i-equiraments will remain substantial until 1954. IDuring 1949, the periods of over-load due to the factors previously described, occurred with such frequency that it w;as necessary to dr'astically restrict the use of electricity by emergency regulations for all classes of consumers, which in the case of some industrial users amounted to 5011- At the same time, it became obvious that the generating equipment on order as part of the postwax power exyansion programn would not be avrailable in time to alleviate a situation rapidly reaching a state of acute crisis. 6. Emergency Controls Attachied as Exhibits 4 and 5 are pho-ostats of the "Foreword" to the Emergency Regulations for the State of New South Wrales, and a summary of the Regulations for the State of Victoria, The city of Brisb-mae, which contains practically all of the power generating facilities for south, eastern Queensland, has imposed similar regulations to those in effect in the State of Victoria. The situation in southeastern Queensland is even more critical, sincq there are only two existiing generating statiens, in wliCh half the units have been in operation mnore than twenty-three years. The use of electricity for advertising signs and space heating is prchibited between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.nr.; furthermore, domestic hot water is permitted only at off-peak periods and is controlled by time switches. Residential use of electricity, except for clocks, refrigerators and radios is prohibited betwJeen 8 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. Commercial interior illumination is reduced to 50% of the base period in 1948. In addition to the forgoing restrictions, there is one power-less day per week in the State of New South Wales, which means that all fac- tories and industrial establishments, except those operating vital and continuous processes, must shut down completely one day per weok. Electric transportation systems also curtail their of--peak schedules by 5Q%. On the power-less day, no electricity is available to domestiQ or commercial consumers. Because the generating stationp are operating without any plant reserve, it is often necessary., in addition to the power-less day, to shed load, and to give some idea of the drastic curtailment in these circumstances, attached is Exhib-it '6, shovring the effects of the half- hourly load-shed from April 4 to April 2h, 1951. There is also attached Exhibit 7, vhich records the shedding for all areas of interconnected systems of New South lVTales for the week ending April 15,. 1951., showinr the number of occasions when powrer was interrupted in each distribution area and the aggregatue duration of the interruption, 7. Emergency Package Power Plant Progra-m The only answer to the problem vwas the installation of additional generating capacity as qickly as possible. While a number of relatiively large diesel generating W,its had recently been acquired, and additional diesel units have been ordered, this wAras only a stop-gap measure, further complicated by extending lead-time on deliveries by British manufacturers, and the alwrays recurring problem of continuous and adequate fuel oil 12.. supplies, which must be imnported. IW.hen it became apparent that the povwer plants on order from England could not be installed in accordance with the promised Qperating schedules, and the increase in electric demand caused by the expansion of industry due to defense and economic changes resulted in increased power shortages, a review of the w,orld market for electric power generating equipment was made by the various elect>ricity commissions in Australia. The prerequisite for new equipment was that it must be delivered and placed in operatior. in Australia as quickly as possible and certainly be ready for operation by -bhe widnter of 1953, which starts in May. The only country where power generatiing equipment could be obtained in time to meet the critical power emergency was from the United States, wnrhere both Westinghouse and General Electric had available for fairly early delivery complete package power plants. These plants were ideal for the emergency requirement because they had already been engineered and construction work could thus start considerably sooner than under normal conditions. The package plants employ equipment designed specifically to provide for easy installation by the use of relatively few technically qualified erectors. Outstanding among their advantages is the simplicity of dosign and arrangement, to make it possible for the plaints to be removed to other locations at a later date, when installation of larger units in the power system would allow these package plants to be released for installation at more remote areas. By standardizing on the 5,000 kW ana 10,000 kw package plants, the Australians will be able to minimize the amount of spare parts required for proper operation and maintena ce throughout the years. 13. Erection and installation of the plants will also become much simpler, as erection crews will move from plant to plant during the course of installation, thus considerably decreasing the over-all capital investment. By loc4ting the package powver plants at certain strategic locations ir. the power systems, transmission line materials are eliminated or def-erred for at least three years. This means a considerable saving in copper and aluminum, as wxell as a greatu improvement in voltage regulation and transmission losses. The loan made to Australia by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Dev4eopment in August, provided the dollar exchange necessary for the purchase of these plant,s (this had previously been a very serious problem), and the Australian Government is using part ofL the proceeds of this loan for the purchase in the United States of four 10,000 kw units and twenty- four 5,000 kvw units, w^hich according to the maniufacturerst schedules (a typical example of which is attached as Ek3xhibit 3), can be delivered, erected anid put on the line in approximately 27 weeks after shipment from the factory. The locatiJon of these plants will be found on the map included as Exhibit 1. Construction work on the foundations and powi-er- houses is well advanced for the first plant at Port Kembla alnd plans are likewise on schedule for the other plants, Which will be comnpleted before arrival of the units (see photograph Fxhibit). Ag,ain, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that while the inslal- lation of the package pow-Jer units will ameliorate to a degree the crisis now existing, power conditions in Australia will remain critical mtil 195-55, as is aho,tm graphically on the chart included as Exhibit 2.* 14Lr- 8.

Contributions to Defense Effort Australials contribution to 7orld "Far IT is impressi've. She had in 1943 a peak of 732,000 in the armed services and 593,000 on V-J Day. Her casualties amounted to 237,000, of whom 33,800 were killed or died of wounds. In 1943, 515,000 were engaged in vwar production. Australia received $1,500 million of lend-lease and provided l;O0 million in reverse land-lease. Prices of Australian pi7;cdlucts provided as reverse lend-lease wrere generally lower tha-n United Statesl prices. Australia's present defense expQnditures amount to 19,Z of the 1950-51 budget, as compared with 8o of the 1949.50 budget. 15. Thze position of the continent of Australia as a dominant factor in the Pacific area is of great importance in any further armed conflicts. Her capacity to provide a strong biflwrark of this area of the globe is heavily influenced by her powrer situation. Accordingly, the present crisis in power generation in Australia has serious defense irmplications. Since the objective of Australia is to incvea8e its rapidly developing industrialization, the emergency povwer project comes within tlhe scope of the policy paper on foreign allocations issued MYlay 30, 1951, by the Office of Defense Mlobilization and signed by IMIr. Charles E. 17ilson. This state- ment in part indicates that allocations policies should support requirements which, among other things, will contribute or miake progress toward lessened dependence upon military and economic assistance from the United States. In this case, Australiats dependence upon the United States should be decreased by the carrying out of its development program. This is also true as regards Australiats dependence uponi the United Kingdom. 10* Endorsements The program has the uinqualified support of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which will fi-naice the foreign exchange costs involved (estimated at "26 nillion), out of bhe proceeds of the ''l00 million loan already referred to. In order that this program may be completed in ti'me to effect the relief of the power crisis in 'Australia for which it is designed, it wTill be necessary to provide the manufacturers with sufficient priorities assistance to avoid serious delays, Dollar limit export licenses have been secured for all orders by submission of appropriate applications to the Office of lnternational Trade.
