on the running during/was about Rs 400/- per month,
if the Muharraq scheme had not been entered the loss
would be about 630/- per month apart from deprecia
tion.
Consum p tion . It will be noticed that the unit con
sumption in the case of public lighting is much less
than during 1349. This is accounted for by the fact
that the Municipalities reduced the wattage of their
street lighting to 25 per lamp instead of an average
of 60, for, from their point of view, economical reasons*
The units lost on transmission amount to Rs 23$. This
is a higher percentage than usual and is due to the five
substations being lightly loaded as wall be seen by the
number of units generated during the year, with conse
quent high transformer losses. This loss will decrease
as the load increases.
Fuel oil » Fuel oil cost per unit averages .33 annas
per unit generated and lubricating oil .09 annas. The
first figure compares very favourably with other diesel
stations in India which have a 60$ or 70$ load factor
whereas Bahrain at present is in the neighbourhood of
26$ only allow/ing for the station being closed between
November and April from 9-30 a.m. till 3.30 p.m.
Prospects for 1351 . If wiring continues at the pre
sent rate it is hoped that enough load will be obtained
during the summer of 1351 to enable the plant to run
24 hours during the whole year.
