Mr M J Proffitt
Mrs A J Cottier
— 09/03 Minutes
The Minutes of the meeting held on the 30 January 2003, having been previously circulated to
Members, were taken as read, confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.
10/03 Matters Arising
(a)
Minute 02/03(a) — Oil Spill from Pulrose Power Station
IT WAS NOTED that the clean up following the oil spill had resulted in MEA claiming
£90,000.00 and PGT claiming £50,000.00 under the Zurich liability policy. The policy
carries a £1000 deductible.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that Alarm Triggering for Oil Seepage was to be monitored whilst
engines were not running.
(b)
Minute 02/03 (b) — Windfarm
IT WAS NOTED that ROC's (Renewable Obligation Certificates) could be sold for a
potential £1 Million per annum at current trade levels.
IT WAS NOTED that the Chief Executive was dealing directly with Rosie Winterton MP's
office and that the local DTI were aware of MEA's strategy as regards the Chief Secretary's
Office.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that Snuff the Wind was the preferred site by MEA, however if the
Planning Department preferred Meary Veg this site would be used given that no problems
were foreseen with airport traffic.
IT WAS NOTED that the Meary Veg site had comparable wind readings with Snuff the
Wind with the exception of summer where winds were recorded as a little lighter. The new
specification of the turbines, approximately 100kW more than previously stated, indicates
that the lighter Summer winds could be compensated for during the Winter, if using Meary
Veg, in terms of annual energy potential.
(c)
Minute 02/03(c) - Legislation
IT WAS NOTED that the Chief Minister had indicated the reading of the Gas & Electricity
Bill should pass through Tynwald smoothly.
IT WAS AGREED that an additional Board Member should be considered from a Legal
background to fill the empty seat created by the new Bill, in addition to the Chief Executive
joining the Board. The Chairman requested that the Board consider suitable candidates.
-I-
IT WAS CONFIRMED that a Board Member did not have to be a Manx Resident and that
Members should deliberate over a week and submit three potential candidates names to the
Chief Executive.
(d)
Fibre Optic
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the Chief Executive would send a Memorandum of
Understanding to the DTI, to include details of the recent discussions re Fibre optics due to
the retirement of Chief Executive, Ken Bawden on 21 March 2003.
(e)
Minute 03/03(a) — CCGT & Gas Pipeline
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the first fire of a gas turbine was under review based on Health
& Safety Rules.
(f)
Minute 03/03(b) - Manx Gas
IT WAS CONFIRMED that a supply agreement was being developed for Manx Gas. The
Chief Executive reported that Manx Gas were trying to change the basis of the agreement so
that they can procure their own gas contracts with suppliers. The Chief Executive confirmed
that this was non-negotiable and the only supplier would be MEA and furthermore, if Manx
Gas was to pursue this line it would be considered tortuous interference. It is believed that
Manx Gas are wishing to conceal their `feed-stock price' and MEA position would make
them transparent.
(g)
Minute 03031(c) JNC
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the staff pay increase was 7.2% with a 2% lump sum on base
salary from 1 April 2003.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the Chief Executive intended to advise the workforce that the
agreed pay deal was a catch-up from the past 3 years. The Chief Executive further confirmed
that the wage structure needed to be the best in order to obtain and retain the best people.
(h)
Tariff
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the Chief Executive would bring the Tariff to the next meeting
as the budget was with Accounting at present.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that cash flow problems would exist for the next two years due to
cost of fuel, operating expenses at the Power Station, particularly the water demineralising
plant, which required a full-time chemist and an investment in training.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that a positive cash flow would ensue after the 2 year bedding in
period with the new station.
(i)
Minute 0303(d) - MCCL
IT WAS CONFIRMED that MCCL would incorporate a Telecoms subsidiary and that
visiting Directors are exempt from work permits if only working for 3 consecutive days a
month on the Island.
11/03 Chief Executive's Report
The contents of Paper No MEA 03/05 were noted.
(a)
JP Morgan Chase
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the hearing of a perfunctory-type objection would take place on
28 March 2003. The Merits of the case test will take place between 6 and 9 October 2003.
The stall on the case is due to Michael Brindle QC's commitments. The Chief Executive
-2-
reported that the Financial Press was indicating that JMPC had set aside money in
acknowledgement of claims.
IT WAS AGREED that the Chief Executive contact the Attorney General, informally, to
appraise him of status of case.
(b)
Capital Projects - Gas
IT WAS CONFIRMED that gas was now on the Isle of Man, which was noted as a
tremendous achievement.
IT WAS NOTED that insufficient Nitrogen had been available to bring the pipe up to 70bar
of pressure and consequently BGE dropped the pressure of SIPS2 to 63bar in order that both
pressures were equal prior to the sub-sea valve being opened, thus avoiding a pressure rush.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that Natural Gas was now being held at 70bar in the subsea spur and
Nitrogen at 12bar in the land pipe. It was further noted that Nitrogen pressure had been
maintained so system was good.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that as soon as natural gas passes through the pressure reduction
station it then becomes the property of MEA. Therefore, gas would be brought through the
system when the Power Station is ready for its first fire.
(c)
Capital Projects — Power Station
IT WAS NOTED that test modelling had indicated the formation of a gas cloud on the inside
of the packaging of the Turbine. In normal circumstances the air vent which is used for
cooling would also disperse this cloud. However, this particular cloud is ten times larger than
Health & Safety requirements allow.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that GE was working closely with MEA in order to resolve the
problem. The strategy to resolve the problem is thought to be in `trousering' (baffling) the
turbine. The Chief Executive confirmed that a model of this solution had been put together
for his review during a trip to Houston. GE advised MEA that the remodel would be done by
close of business on the following Monday and the Chief Executive confirmed that this was
the case. GE would continue to work closely with Health & Safety executives on the test
modelling to ensure satisfactory dispersal.
IT WAS NOTED that the 'Steam Blow' would be continuous for 5-6 hours based on water
availability. It was noted that the Steam Blows could last 5 days before the target plate wag
clear.
IT WAS FURTHER CONFIRMED that the public would be dealt with via media.
(d)
Power Outage
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the power outage had been caused by a Switching Operation at
Lord Street undertaken by an Authorised Staff Member of Generation Division. Therefore,
the error had been a human one and the Chief Executive outlined the technical issues, which
caused the outage.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the transformer being brought back into service had had a link
reinstalled. Prior to being brought back into service it was soaked for 24 hours. When the
authorised staff member attempted to close the circuit breaker it would not close due to 24kV
pass through it. The operator should have ensured ambient voltage and followed the circuit
breaker routine.
-3-
IT WAS NOTED that a Senior Authorised Person should only proceed with a "man in the
control". The individual concerned has been sent on a 5 day retraining course before being
reissued with his Authorisation. Procedures are now in place that future situations require a
second member of personnel to be present.
IT WAS CONFIRMED that press coverage had been minimal.
(e)
CEO Trip to USA
IT WAS NOTED that last month Mr Chris Stott had given a presentation to Government in
relation to licences for satellite broadcasting.
IT WAS NOTED that the Isle of Man has an allocation of frequencies. Mr Stott represents a
company called ManSat, which is a Manx Resident Company who wish to resource the
granting of licences by the Isle of Man Government.
IT WAS NOTED that one of the interested carriers is Boeing.
IT WAS NOTED that ManSat were leasing a transponder dish on the Island from Manx
Telecom and this facility would enable the carriers to avoid Atlantic crossing costs and other
carriers.
IT WAS NOTED that Manx Telecom had quoted an unacceptably high cost which Boeing
rejected. Consequently discussions were terminated with Manx Telecom.
IT WAS NOTED that due to MEA's fibre-optic cable having available capacity the MEA
were in a position to deal with ManSat and Boeing.
IT WAS NOTED that an opportunity had also arisen with a Mr Jim Valle who was in the
business of obtaining redundant capacity across the globe and he may require a network
operating centre on the Isle of Man.
The Chief Executive's trip report to USA was noted and entered as follows:
Tuesday 18 February met with GE Personnel (Greg West, Jay Manning, Chris Dalston) and
Rick Stewart by teleconference. Reviewed CFD issue with gas turbine packaging and
determined suitable timing for the delivery of the engineering solution.
Wednesday 19 February (am) met with Don Hull and Danny White of Boeing Space &
Communications Services along with Chris Stott of ManSat. Proposition is for Boeing to use
MEA's telecoms company to provide access off-Island into Manchester and London
telehouses. Boeing's signal will arrive on-Island and delivered to our fibre optic via Satellite
connection provided by ManSat.
This is a very real opportunity, however, I explained that for credit purposes our customer
would need to be Boeing not ManSat.
Wednesday 19 February (pm) met with Chris Stott, George Abbey (Senior Advisor to Boeing
and NASA), John Bryant (Democratic Congressman), Major General Charles Bolden
(Astronaut) and Israel Galvin (Telecoms Advisor). Discussed role of MEA's telecoms
provider as service to ManSat with regard to other non-Boeing related business opportunities.
All of the above are ManSat Advisors (ManSat is a Satellite Communications Company
based in Houston, Texas, headed by Chris Stott a former Boeing employee and the names are
the de-facto Board of Directors. ManSat is a Manx registered company and for that purpose
has Manx Directors.
-4-
Wednesday 19 February (pm-late) met with Chris Stott and James Valle, Fibre-bridge Global
Network. Discussed MEA's telecoms provider role in the FBGN's business plan. FBGN
wishes to co op capacity globally including terrestrial, satellite and subsea. If successful
FBGN would require a network operation centre domiciled in tax efficient and politically
stable jurisdiction. This proposition has been put to Manx Telecom who's pricing has been
rejected by FBGN and therefore the opportunity for IoM denied. It is the opinion of the
writer that the pricing issue can be overcome and the opportunity for the Isle of Man restored.
-
Thursday 20 February (all day) met with Minister Downie, David Morter and Neil Corlett
(DTI) and Billy Parker (WilTel Communications), Robert Miller (WilTel Communications),
Mike DeSirey (WilTel Communications) and James Valle. WilTel is a communications
company, which acts as a carriers carrier having developed a network of fibre optic around
most of the USA. James Valle reviewed his proposition that should he domicile FGBN in the
Isle of Man he would be looking to WilTel as best practice to construct and operate his
Network Operating Centre (NOC). We reviewed MEA telecoms ability to construct and
operate an NOC of its own using WilTel's best practice and training services provided by
them.
FBGN in the writers opinion is an excellent proposition but is not funded and without
wherewithall. This, however, could be an opportunity for MEA's telecom.
(g)
Gas & Electricity Bill
IT WAS CONFIRMED that the new bill could be completed in both Houses by the end of
March.
IT WAS NOTED that Skyward would progress once the Bill had been passed.
IT WAS NOTED that the meeting in the Millennium Room to Ministers had been very
positive and that focus had totally concentrated on Natural Gas.
(h)

The CEO will update the responsible Director's report at the meeting.
The criticality of most key items now changes on a daily basis and it is considered
appropriate to brief the Board as to standing as at 0800hrs 24 March 2003.
BGE & Gas Supply
2.1
BGE have structured their financing of the subsea spur, which involves a suite of
documents for MEA's consent and approval. These are currently under legal review.
2.2 BGE have placed the subsea spur section of the gas pipe into a separate company and
while there is no change to the commercial terms of our relationship the lending Bank
require various assignments into this company.
2.3
BGE have agreed to supply volumes of gas during start-up and commissioning.

Windfarm
3.1
In consultation with the UK DTI, it is apparent that the opportunity to qualify our
renewables for ROC's is a real one. However, I have learned that this would expose
our "supply" side of the business to "Climate Change Levy" which would far
outweigh the benefits from ROC trading.
3.2
This has no bearing on the commitment to develop renewable energy, as a Board
policy, which has always been an environmental commitment.

We have negotiated agreements to supply and transport gas to a point of delivery at
the Pulrose AGI.
These agreements are nearing completion and drafts are attached for your review.
An independent investigation into the incident at Lord Street Substation where a
switching procedure caused a trip and subsequent Island-wide outage has been
completed.
The report casts doubt on previous explanations and draws the conclusion that the
design of the system is such that switching should be carried out at low load.
The report is attached and can be discussed at the meeting.
MCCL Fibre Optic Optimisation
6.1
The CEO will provide a presentation and explanation of the attached Structure
Diagram for the commercialisation of the fibre optics.

SCHEDULE B
GAS TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT (GTA)
Transporter:
MEA (or an Affiliate)
Shipper:
MG
Quantity of Gas Per Gas
Year:
To be detailed in the GfA
Delivery Point:
The Pulrose delivery point only (unless otherwise agreed)
- to be detailed in the GSA.
The GA will address the process for connecting the
Distribution Network to the Onshore Pipeline, including
(without limitation) the location of the connection, timing,
technical co-ordination, siting and specification of valves
and meters and risk allocation.
Transportation Charges:
The gas transportation contract between the MEA and MG
will cover the transportation of gas from Moffat (the
interconnection between SIPS and the Transco NTS) to
Pulrose (the interconnection between the MEA-operated
Pipeline and the MG system). This covers the
transportation on the BGE system from Moffat to the Isle
of Man spur interconnection, the offshore Isle of Man spur
(operated by BGE) and the onshore MEA Pipeline.
The contract does not cover the transportation of gas, nor
the charges involved, on the Transco NTS. These will be
incorporated in the GSA.
The charges for transportation, under the contract, will
consist of a "capital" element and an operating and
maintenance ("O&M") element.
The "capital" element charge will cover the whole of the
transportation of gas from Moffat to the MG
interconnection at Pulrose. The charge will be 4.5 p/therm
in Year 1 (covering the period 1 April 2003 and 31 March
2004). On 1 April 2004, and on the subsequent
anniversaries, the charge will increase by the percentage
change in [the UK CPI] over the immediately preceding
12 month period.
The "O&M" element will cover the following costs:
• The Isle of Man share of the SIPS
interconnector O&M costs;
10\80700_5

•
The BGE O&M charge relating to the
operation of the offshore IOM spur;
• The O&M costs relating to the onshore MEA
pipeline; and
• The administration costs relating to the onshore
MEA pipeline.
The total "O&M" costs will be shared on a pro-rata basis
between the MEA and MG in relation to their respective
annual transportation volumes PROVIDED that (1) during
the first twenty (20) years of the GTA, the MEA volume
for this purpose shall be a deemed volume (the "Deemed
MEA Volume" or "DMV") and (2) if the term of the GTA
is extended beyond twenty (20) years, the MEA volume
for this purpose during such extension period(s) shall be
the actual volume transported. The DMV will be updated
annually based on actual Isle of Man gas demand for
electricity generation and the nominated (to be agreed)
heat rate efficiency at the Pulrose Power Station.
Where MG usage of the onshore MEA pipeline exceeds
eighty percent (80%) of total usage (over a period to be
agreed and excluding times at which MEA usage is
reduced due to, inter alia, force majeure), MG will have
the option to undertake the operation and maintenance of
that section of the pipeline on terms satisfactory to MEA.
MG will be responsible for balancing its gas inputs at
Moffat and offtakes at Pulrose on terms substantially
similar, mutatis mutandis, to those set out in the BGE
Code of Operations. MG shall not be entitled to aggregate
its inputs or offtakes with MEA or any third party.
Any other charges levied by BGE or other third parties
will be shared on a pro-rata basis, based on actual relative
MEA and MG volumes.

Report Into Outage Incident at Lord St Substation
On Wednesday 19th February 2003
Report into an outage incident at Lord St Substation
On Wednesday 19 6 February 2003
This report concerns an outage incident, which occurred at 2.38pm on Wednesday
1.9'' February 2003, and resulted in loss of supply to around 80% of the MEA's
customers for periods of up to 35 minutes during which time supplies were
progressively restored.
This report is compiled in response to the request of Mr A.Lewis, and has terms of
reference shown by Appendix I.
Executive Summary
At 2.38pm on Wednesday 20 th February 2003 when approximately 45MW ( 72% of
the Island electrical demand at that time ) was being imported from Bispham a
switching operation, undertaken at MEA's substation at Lord St caused disconnection
of this import. The TOM generation at that time was three 9.6MW diesel sets running
at Peel Power Station, which with the abrupt increase in their load, reduced both
frequency and voltage. This triggered automatic load shedding devices at all of the
MEA's 33kV to 11kV distribution substations excepting Douglas North, Laxey, and
Sulby. These substations continued to supply their networks with a load of around
12MW, which was within the capability of those generators. The operation at Lord St
had been indicated as a fault of the in service interconnector transformer. The action
taken to restore supplies was by the start up of diesel generators at Pulrose, and as this
plant became available, the previously disconnected sections of 11kV networks were
switched in as quickly as possible. Total supplies were restored by 3.13pm.
Following an immediate technical review of the incident the interconnector
transformer was deemed to be un-faulted, and was restored to service by 5pm.
Background
Since 2000 the 90kV interconnector cable has played an important role by allowing
the transmission of power between the Isle of Man, and the UK. It links two
substations. Bispham near Blackpool, and Lord St in Douglas. It was designed for a
continuous 40MW capacity, and has a capability of 60MW for short emergency
periods. Following a review of the cable rating, it has been up-rated to 50MW
continuously. Although the interconnector comprises a single cable only the land
based equipment, principally transformers and switchgear are duplicated so that
individual units may be taken out of service for inspection or maintenance whilst the
full transfer capacity remains available.
At the time of the incident one such maintenance on a Lord St 90kV/33kV
transformer equipment, the tap changer, had recently been completed and it was
required to return the transformer to normal service. As part of the restoration process
the transformer had been energised at 90kV the previous day, and following a process
of checking and preparation the principal remaining actions were to close the
transformer lower voltage circuit breakers. These were intended to be closed in
sequence, first the main load carrying 33kV circuit breaker, followed by the
subsidiary 22kV breaker which connects to local reactors only. This sequence. as
attempted was prevented by interlocks, the operator then reversed this sequence,
closed the 22kV breaker and the consequential current flow caused the in-service
transformer to be disconnected.
Technical Outline of the Lord St transformer and it's connection
The maintained Lord St transformer is designated as 2T3 and it's connections are
shown by a simplified schematic diagram Appendix 2 which also shows the in service
transformer 2T4. It will be seen that each transformer has two lower voltage
connections. The first and major connection is to the 33kV bus - bar and the rating of
the associated transformer winding is 60MVA which approximates to the designed
emergency load rating of the interconnector.
The second connection is to the 22kV bus-bar, and this transformer winding is rated at
2OMVA which approximates to the reactive quantity, the only load connected to this
bus-bar, which is required to allow a controlled compensation to be provided for the
capacitive cable charging current. This aspect is a normal operational feature of the
cable since, as the reactive load of the MEA system varies, switching the reactors
provides the required and approximately constant quantity of reactive compensation.
The entire interconnector system is fitted with a very high level of a fault detection
and protective system. Each individual item of main equipment is covered by more
than one high speed fault detecting relays, which are envisaged as the only protection
which would normally operate under a fault condition, but also has a back-up cover
provided by a more basic and slower acting system of over current detection. The
simplified diagram does not show these features, but it is to be noted that the back-up
arrangement for each transformer is the detection of over current entering each of its
surveyed windings, which above a certain limit would cause the total transformer to
be disconnected. The over current operating limit of the 22kV winding is much less
than the levels of the 90kV or 33kV windings.
Operator actions giving rise to outage of interconnector capacity
Operational control of the interconnector is vested with MEA's generation division
and, accordingly one of the engineering staff of this division went to Lord St and set
up to undertake the required switching on transformer 2T3 through the installed
remote control and indication system. He had prepared a switching programme,
Appendix 3, which he took with him, which correctly identifies the major actions, and
their sequence, which he was to undertake. The programme system requires that he is
to note the times when each section of the programme is started and completed. After
two preliminary steps he moved to item 3 of his programme "close 33kV circuit
breaker" which he found to be non effective, the control equipment rejecting his
instruction. He re-attempted twice to the same effect, and then tried to contact two
engineering colleagues for discussion who were unfortunately out of telephone
contact. He suspected a protection interlock to the remaining action, which was to
-
check that the 22kV circuit breaker was closed, and to remove the suspected interlock,
he then proceeded with closing that circuit breaker. Shortly after this the 22kV
winding overload protection of the in-service transformer 2T4 operated, disconnecting
that transformer and the import of approximately 45MW of power into the Isle of
Man. As noted in the executive summary, the resulting overload of the three inservice diesel generators caused frequency and voltage to collapse, and automatic load
shedding equipment disconnected all except I2MW of the Island load.
Technical Discussion
i)
The operator had been careful to equalise the tap positions of both the on load
and the unloaded transformers. This is an adjustment which can be made to
allow the equal sharing of load between them as soon as the unloaded 33kV
circuit was closed. However each winding of the transformer has an
impedance which requires an "internal" voltage to drive the load current
through it, this is normally arranged by an automatic device which moves the
tap position to maintain a fixed voltage output, as the load current increases or
decreases. Thus the on-load transformer operated on tap 11 allowed for this
internal voltage and produced the required 33kV at around 75% of its rated
output. The off-load transformer at the same tap, having no internal load/
voltage requirement produced an output voltage some 6% higher on both it's
33kV and 22kV outputs.
When the 22kV circuit was closed the transformers attempted to equalise their
loads through their 22kV windings. This caused a current to flow from the
higher voltage transformer to the other. The entry of this current into the inservice transformer was within the protection setting of it's over current
detecting relay which reacted as though the transformer had absorbed a fault
current and the in-service 90kV 33kV and 22kV circuit breakers were opened.
ii)
The operator suspected an interlock to the 22kV circuit breaker and this is
confirmed by reference to Appendix 4, the equipment interlocking diagram
which shows that 2R5, amongst 5 other checked items, needs to be closed
before the 33kV breaker 2X3 is released for a closing action.
The connection of a reactive load to the interconnector and it's progressive
energisation from the UK end was a stated requirement of the control scheme
and required to apply before which ever of the two 33kV breakers was the first
to be closed. This is the action, which in those circumstances synchronises the
Isle of Man to the UK. system. The operator did not know that an interlock
bypass could be applied to allow the closure of the second transformer breaker
without the full range of interlock checks. Also he did not recognise that the
22kV bus section breaker could have been opened to avoid the flow of current
from the off-load transformer to the other. A recommendation is provided on
these points.
iii)
In respect of the set tripping level of the 22kV back-up over current relay it
was found that this operated when 430 amp, around 75% of the winding
20MVA rating, had flowed for a period of around 3 seconds. Whilst, the
3
I
tripping level is compromise between the damage a fault may cause and the
amount of current and time taken to operate, it is considered that a higher
setting should be applied within the context of the overall 22kV arrangement,
and a recommendation is provided.
iv)
In respect of the operation of the Distribution load shedding system it was
found that the relays actuating the load shedding event operated at their design
point beyond which greater retention of load would have caused a total system
shut down. However, review of this system is due with the forthcoming use of
the Gas Turbine generators, and if possible, refinement will be sought. A
recommendation is made for the forwarding of this system performance
information to the persons undertaking this review.
Procedure and operator comments
All high voltage switching amongst many other operations, is subject to restrictions
and control under the MEA Safety Rules. These rules establish and define the duties
of a Control Engineer, the Senior Authorised and other operational Engineers and
persons deemed to competent for certain duties. To allow for out of hours working a
control baton logic is used which allows an Operational Engineer to be the Control
Engineer, singularly, until he passes the baton to an established control centre.
To overcome staff limitations within the Generation Division the operator who was
qualified as a Control Engineer also undertook a dual function as operator, this denied
one of the usual safety features of the safety rules that at least one level of overview
would be in place, and in this instance should have avoided the operator moving on
from a prevented action until the cause had been ascertained It is also apparent that
although the operator was qualified to HND and MA ( Open University ) standard,
his work experience within the generation Division had not exposed him to three
winding transformers, and an effective knowledge of specialised transmission
practice.
In the instance of this major plant it is considered that appropriate operator knowledge
and the control overview should be in place and a recommendation is made on this
point.
Persons Interviewed
The persons interviewed and providing information to this report were:
Mr T Qualtrough,
Mr N. Eastham,
Mr A. Cooil,
Mr M. Gosden,
Mr S Hayes.
MEA, A Resources and Project Engineer, who undertook the
operations.

Recommendations
The following recommendations are not mutually exclusive since the precautionary
measures recommended to avoid recurrence of the event may be viewed as
overlapping layers. The first two recommendations may also be taken as general and
if not already applied should have application across the total of the NIEA's systems.
The remaining are more specific to the interconnector.
1)
That interconnector switching should be:i)
Planned in advance and the plan reviewed by an appropriately qualified
Control Engineer, who may refer to specialist advice if required.
ii)
Undertaken under control of an established control Engineer.
2)
That the involved engineering staff should be fully trained and conversant with
the interconnector and it's land based equipment as a transmission link
between the TOM and UK systems, and that retraining should be undertaken at
two yearly intervals.
3)
That the interlock provided between the 33kV and 22kV circuit breakers
should be reviewed. Although a by-pass is fitted, this incident shows the
interlock may be mis-interpreted. The required function is to ensure that the
connection of a reactive load would be in place prior to interconnector
energisation, but when one transformer is already in service the interlock is a
complication which could be avoided. A necessary interlock function when
one transformer is already in service is that one of the 22kV bus bar and
transformer circuit breakers is open when the second 33kV breaker is also
open.
There is also a remote possibility of a 33kV bus-bar fault which automatically
opens one of the transformer 33kV breakers, in this event an intertrip is
required to be sent from the 33kV breaker to the 22kV breaker of the same
transformer.
4)
The 22kV back-up over current setting should be increased and a new set of
co-ordinated tripping levels be established. These settings details are beyond
the purpose of this report, but a level of at least the overload rating of the
22kV winding is suggested.
5)
The actions of the emergency load shedding system disconnected load and
allowed the in service diesel engines to recover their normal frequency and
voltage. The use of this live information is considered to be helpful to the
revisions needed for CCGT operations and should be passed to PB
Technologies Ltd, who are undertaking this review.
5
6)
That in the instance of the operator involved in this incident his switching
authorisation should be suspended until * a refresher course of network
operations training has been satisfactorily completed.
It is noted that this training has been undertaken as quickly as possible under
the auspices of the NGC training centre "EKRING" during week commencing
3 rd March 2003.

General Market Intelligence in the Energy Sector:
• UK Government energy white paper was released this month, main goals for government energy
policy include :
1. To work towards cutting UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050.
2. To maintain reliability of energy supplies.
3. To promote competition in UK and world-wide energy markets
4. To ensure every home is adequately and affordable heated.
5. Main focus on potential of renewable and green energy.
• Strong oil prices influenced significantly both gas and power markets, making February a bullish
month.
• Wholesale price movements blamed on increases to UK and Manx Gas domestic gas prices.
Npower and Powergen have both recently increased their tariff prices by 4.3% and 6.2%
respectively.
• British Energy signed a four-year agreement to supply up to 15% of its output to Centrica, which
represents about 20% of Centrica's annual requirement.
• Vestas Celtic Wind Technology is to carry out all the offshore work on behalf of Powergen
Renewables for the £75m project at Scroby Sands, 3Krn East of Great Yarmouth. The project will
feature a total of 30 turbines and is expected to produce enough electricity to power 41,000
homes.
• The U.K. Trade and Industry Secretary, Patricia Hewitt has referred Centrica's purchase of
Dynergy's gas storage business to the Competition Commission. Concerns have been raised
relating to Centrica's potential market dominance in gas storage.

OPERATIONAL MONTHLY REPORT — FEBRUARY 2003
Interconnector Maintenance & Unplanned Outage
On 19 February 2003 transformer 2TX3 at Lord Street was being returned to service following
planned maintenance. Unfortunately during the process the Interconnector tripped out of service
resulting in a substantial loss of Island supplies. During the recovery period immediately following
the trip, Technical Services provided assistance to Generation Division to establish the reason for the
failure and in the re-connection of supplies from the UK.
Technical Services subsequently investigated the incident, and have made a report with
recommendations to the Chief Executive.
Health & Safety Policy
With the aid of Mr Paul Blake, work has continued on the development of the Board's Safety
Management Policy as it relates to the new and existing power stations through the creation and
enhancement of the following;
•
•
•
•
•
Emergency Contingency plans (commissioning)
Major Accident Prevention plans.
Emergency Gas Leak procedures
Emergency Fire procedures
Chemical Handling procedures
Specifics of these plans and procedures were presented to the Fire Service and the Island's
Emergency Response team producing some extremely useful feedback thus allowing the further
improvement of our emergency documentation.
Technical Services has also recently undertaken an impromptu audit of safety and safety management
procedures at the construction site, and the findings of this investigation have been made to the Site
Safety Team.
Commissioning and Start Up of the CCGT Station
The commissioning section of the Start Up and Operations Team numbers twenty five (25), made up
of staff drawn from MEA and NEL Power with support from PB Power. A new section of operators
has been established to take the CCGT through its "bedding in" period. This group numbers 11 and is
currently undergoing specific plant training, which has been developed "in house".
The Commissioning Team continues to produce a suite of procedures which will facilitate the
commissioning, operation and maintenance of the new station for its first year of operation.
Team commissioning activities now extend to initial work at the power station gas AGI (Above
Ground Installation), plus pre-commissioning checks and liaison with number of vendor
representatives who are working on-site testing of the Distributed Control System (DCS) equipment,
GT control systems, station batteries, and generator transformers.
Other works undertaken this month include:
•
The development of risk assessments and method statements for the GT enclosure CO2 discharge
test and system pressure test.
•
The First Fire risk assessments and tracking register used to target work to achieve this milestone.
•
The development of a South Site temporary gas and fire annunciation system for the existing `D'
station control room.

MEA 03/12
•
Site access and security inspections for Construction All Risks and Operational insurance.
•
The production and control of a safety permit to work system facilitating works on completed
work packages now under the Commissioning Team's jurisdiction.

Pulrose PIS
As part of the work relating to the commissioning of the new control room at Pulrose power station,
upgrades have been completed on one of the computer networks on site. There are two networks at
Pulrose, one for the general administration (file storage, printing, e-mail, Internet access etc) and the
other for operation and control. The main server for the operational network has been replaced and
the network operating system upgraded to windows 2000. This is providing a more resilient network,
allowing easier support and accommodates the requirements of the various applications being
developed within Generation Services.
Operating Systems
MEA intend to upgrade the operating systems on the desktop PCs, to the latest version of windows
(Windows XP) over the next twelve months. This process involves rebuilding each existing computer
with the new operating software and reinstalling the existing applications. Before this process can
commence, each MEA application has to be tested using Windows XP to ensure that they are
compatible with the software (older applications may not be compatible with Windows XP and may
have to be upgraded). IT staff have taken delivery of a number of Windows XP computers and are
currently undergoing training. Following the training, testing of the various applications will take
place before the new software is rolled out to the users.
This upgrade will take MEA PCs to the latest version of the Microsoft operating system and allow
new technology to be implemented such as remote user support and automatic downloading of
software.
Business Continuity Planning
As part of the company wide project concerning emergency planning, the business continuity plan for
Information technology is currently being updated. Part of the work in this area has included the
installation for a file server at Heywood house, which will act as a backup device. In the event of
computing facilities being lost at Ballacottier for any length of time, this server can be used to rapidly
restore critical system. MEA are also in the process of investigating the use of replication software,
which can keep an up to the minute copy of data on a separate file server, again for critical systems in
case of prolonged loss of the existing facilities.
Meridian Document Management System
The Meridian document management system has been identified as the corporate software for the
management and control of all documents within the MEA. As part of the development of the
software an upgrade is taking place that simplifies use for staff and also give a corporate look and
feel to the structure of the information held in the system. Additional training is also taking place for
users across all departments.

➢ Overall profit margins for February 2003 increased to a level of 27-30%. Promotional support
continues to be received from our major suppliers for the funding of promotions and advertising.
➢ Sales for Feb03 v Feb02 are stated with a 7% decrease due to a GL correction being made to the
sales figures last year to include the sales of ' free' stock from Electrolux. The procedures have
now been altered this year to record this stock correctly. Without the addition of this £25,000 in
2002 we would be able to report an increase of £7,409 against last years figures, (+3%).

Retail Projects
➢ Retail management have now re-written and finalised a new contract for the provision of a
delivery and stock movement service for the retail business. The contract has been written in
conjunction with Internal Audit and has also been reviewed and confirmed by Cains Advocates to
ensure that each clause of the contract is written correctly. We now have a very structured and
`legal' contract that will make it a lot easier to manage this side of the business.
Three companies have responded to the advert asking for interests to be stated in tendering for
the contract, these being Diamond Express, Securicor Omega and Trade Distribution Limited.
Each of these companies have now received a tender pack giving them clear instructions
regarding the information required, along with a copy of the new terms governing the relationship
between the successful tenderer and the Authority. The deadline for the return of these
documents is Friday 28 th March 2003. It is then expected that Retail management will be in a
position to recommend a new contractor to the Chief Executive/Board for consideration/approval
during the following week.
➢ Retail management has started to make progress on the suggestions for the development of
Stanley House and the showroom at Castletown. Proposals have now been received from Dean
Wood and Chris Blackburn with work now being done to clarify a number of issues detailed in
these proposals. A further meeting is to be sought with Chris Blackburn and the Heritage
Department to ensure that we have a full understanding of the limitations in working on a listed

building before deciding on the improvements we would like carried out. Once this meeting has
taken place next week we will be in a position to submit proposals to the Chief Executive's office
for consideration
➢
In relation to last months comments regarding the possibility of selling telecom equipment from
MEA showrooms as a further source of income, it is disappointing to report that after positive
contact was made with Swift Telecom to discuss this possibility, no further information has been
received to-date detailing the range of products and prices as promised by Swift, even after
further contact. Retail management will ensure that further advances are made to Swift, however,
if further delays are incurred an alternative source for supply will be sought.
➢ Manx Telecom Pronto `Go' vouchers have now been made available to all MEA showrooms.

With the introduction of natural gas to the island, retail management have begun looking into the
possibility of stocking natural gas appliances and dual-fuel appliances. A number of suppliers are
sending information to the retail office for our consideration. Electrolux Group have offered to
fund a 'gas appliance launch' for the MEA with grand ideas of celebrity chefs running
demonstrations, prize give-aways, competitions and major support for advertising etc. We will be
progressing with these suggested ideas at our next meeting with the Electrolux rep with a further
update included in next months board report.
➢ With regards to the appliance repairs workshop, regular monthly business update meetings are
now taking place to ensure that a strong focus is placed on the development of the business, also
bringing the workshop and it's staff closer to the division than they have ever been before. Each
meeting is structured with next steps compiled from issues discussed and followed up with a
review at the next meeting. All staff have been very responsive to this new approach with
benefits being seen already at this early stage.
Retail management have started to think about the potential impact gas will have on the
installation and repair of gas appliances on the island. Wanting to ensure that the appliance
workshop develops to cope with this business opportunity, we have begun to look at the
possibility of developing engineers within the workshop to Corgi registered status.
Marketing & Advertising
➢ Further work continues on the retail advertising and promotional plan to ensure the division has a
more structured approach to marketing and advertising. Retail have recently launched a '6
Months Interest Free Credit' promotion, run with Conister Trust, to a truly fantastic response in
the first week of the promotion, taking just over £102,000 in the first 7 trading days of March
2003.

ELECTRICITY NETWORK SERVICES OVERVIEW — JOHN BEVAN
ELECTRICITY NETWORK SERVICES - MATT PATRICK
GENERAL
Staffing
The ENS organisational tree was updated and Corporate services were advised of staff numbers.
PLANNING
Applications
The running total for new load connection from l st April is 4.8MW.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
General
Seven network faults were registered with the result that for February alone the CMLs lost were
29.67. The outage of Lord Street substation accounted for 97% of this value.
The annual CMLs figure is running at 73.68 minutes/connected customer.
Bispham
Following on from the success of the Douglas Head cable temperature monitoring installation we are
investigating a similar installation at Bispham. The effect of a multiple cable crossing will reduce the
interconnector rating and more information is required to assist operational decision making.
Interconnector
The BRL gas pipeline works are still in progress with the gas pipe in situ and trenching works due to
commence soon.
The time taken and hence the costs incurred by BRL operations are increasing and the latest
indication of costs to BRL is £223,000.
Lord Street 90kV Substation
Follow up maintenance work has been completed on transformer 2Tx3. The tap changer problem on
2Tx3 has been resolved, the oil leaks on reactor 2BR1 were rectified and Drycol breathers have been
fitted to both transformers. The substation plant was restored to normal service on 20 th February
2003.
OPERATIONS SUPPORT
Transport
The position in the transport fleet is that 31 vehicles have been replaced since April 2002.
Tenders for vehicle maintenance are being processed so that new contracts will be in place from
April 2003.
MEA 03/12
Safety
Education of 3rd parties on cable damage and ways to avoid it continue as follows:• Letter being sent by HSE to Contractors;
• Safety leaflets issue to ACE Hire for issue with equipment.
As a result of vehicle accidents within ENS we are investigating the provision of defensive driving
courses for staff.

Spirit of Mann Book
It was agreed that the MEA become sole sponsor this year of the Spirit of Mann Book. The cost is
£7,000.00, however, this includes 200 copies of the book which was extremely well received in the
past.
We have suggested that the front loose cover is bespoke photo of the CCGT plant for MEA and that
these could then be the memento given to guests at the PS Gala Dinner on 5 September 2003.
Other Items
Preparation for the Staff Party has taken a good deal of time this month and at the time of writing it is
the Eve of the event. It is hoped this will be an enjoyable event for all who attend.

Capital Investment Management - Ashton Lewis
Pulrose Power Station CCGT
STATUS
Congestion in the turbine hall and effective ventilation of the GT enclosures remain the issues causing
a negative impact on the project programme. Forward progress is being maintained but not to the
extent necessary to maintain the previously forecast first fire and completion dates. PGT estimate the
first fire of GT 6 to be achieved on 31 March. The item most likely to prevent this being achieved is
the enclosure ventilation issue.
ENGINEERING AND PROCUREMENT
The CFD (computational fluid dynamics) modelling of the gas turbine ventilation enclosure has
progressed during the reporting period, however the results obtained have not been better than twice
the recommended explosive limit. GE have undertaken their own modelling, using a different form of
ventilation distribution. The result of this exercise indicates (verbally) that the ventilation and cooling
design as supplied is adequate.
These results are to be discussed with the PM84 review panel on Wednesday
19 March 2003.
A significant number of technical items remain to be closed out between MEA/PB Power and
PGT/NEL Power. It is intended that a review will be held at Ballacottier and the items needed prior to
l g fire implemented immediately and those that remain be scheduled for implementation during the
commissioning period.
In total 252 orders for sub-contract equipment have been placed by PGT out of a total planned value
of 275. The planned value has increased by 15 since the last report. The only significant items
remaining to be placed are for pipework insulation and finish painting of installed equipment.
ON SITE CONSTRUCTION
Construction progress issues principally relate to the cabling and pipework installation. Pulling of
cables has progressed well with over half installed (by length and by number), however, glanding and
terminations are well below this proportion and only around one tenth of the cables have been tested.
Pipework has built up a substantial backlog of radiographic testing due mainly to the difficulty of
establishing a safe area to perform the radiography whilst other activities such as cabling continues.
Glazing of the building continues on the external east face. The south side glazing will be completed
after the service trench alongside the building is completed and the external scaffolding can be re- erected. Work in the steam turbine area progresses with the installation of the overhead crane. The
DCS has been installed, powered up and initial software down loaded. Lack of cables hampers further
work. The south side cooling radiators are nearing completion.
The partial closure of Pulrose Road, continues with transfer of the excavation to the north side of the
road, the southern half having been completed
There are currently 425 PGT staff and sub-contractors on the CCGT and `D' station sites, 1579 site
safety inductions have been performed.
MEA 03/13
An issue arose with the status of Work Permits for a number of the steelwork painters, this was
resolved with the site inspector. Painting has stopped for the moment due to access difficulties. The
HSWI issued a prohibition order on work on the west side cable duct whilst access was improved for
workers in this area who had not been acting in a safe matter. It was lifted after remedial measures
had been taken around two hours later.
Away from main construction activities the 1500 tonnes of oil contaminated soil being stored a
Snugborough is being transferred from 23 March 2003 to Germany for "re-cycling" all approvals and
contracts now being in place.
START UP AND OPERATIONS
The commissioning section of the Start Up and Operations Team remains at 25, made up of staff
drawn from MEA and NEL Power and support from PB Power. A new section of operators has been
established to take the CCGT through its "bedding in" period. This group numbers 11 and is currently
undergoing specific plant training.
Team commissioning activities now extend to initial work at the power station AGI (above ground
installation). A number of vendor representatives are working on-site installing DCS equipment, GT
control system, batteries, and generator transformers.

SYSTEM REINFORCEMENT - SOUTH
1
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Increasing demand for electricity in the South of the Island has reached a point
where a major upgrade of the primary substation supplying the South at
Castletown is now required to accommodate future load growth and provide
firm capacity.
1.2
The purpose of this paper is to seek approval for the reconstruction, on an
MEA owned site of the Castletown 33/1 IkV substation.
1.3
The overall scheme comprises of the establishment of a purpose built
substation building equipped with the appropriate switchgear and transformers.
1.4
The paper proposes the expenditure of £3.128M to establish a new upgraded
primary substation at Castletown on land owned by the MEA for which
planning approval has been obtained.
2 BACKGROUND
3
2.1
Over 35 years ago, the towns and villages on the Island were expanding with
the consequent increase in demand for electricity, the decision was taken to
establish the primary source of supply for the South of the Island, at
Ballalough, on the outskirts of Castletown.
2.2
The initial capacity was soon overtaken by demand and in 1975 the supply to
the substation was upgraded with the installation of a 33kV cable from Peel.
2.3
In 1987 the demand was such that the transformers at Castletown Primary
Substation were replaced with larger units.
PRESENT POSITION
3.1
Castletown Primary Substation comprises of 2 x 7/14MVA transformers and
associated 33kV switchgear to provide alternative routes of supply from either
Douglas or St Johns.
3.2
The 11 panel 11kV switchboard is the source of supply to the 171 distribution
substations providing local supplies to Castletown, Port Erin, Port St Mary,
Colby, Ballasalla and Santon.
3.3
The network load supplied from Castletown Primary Substation has this year
reached 13.8MW (Appendices 1 and 1A) and is likely to reach the firm
capacity of the substation early in 2004.
3,4
The 33kV switchgear at Castletown Primary Substation is over 27 years old
and has been under close scrutiny since 1988 following the discovery of
electrical discharge activity within its bus-bar chamber,
-1-

6
MEA 03/14
3.5
This year during a routine monitoring check audible discharge activity was
detected in an area of the 33kV bus-bars not previously affected. The source
of the discharge has been identified and repairs affected.
3.6
The 11kV switchgear at the Substation has been extended since first installed
and is located such that it does not meet modern day operating requirements or
standards.
PROPOSAL
4.1
On land owned by the MEA adjacent to the existing Castletown Primary
Substation planning permission has been obtained to construct a purpose built
building to be equipped with 33kV switchgear, 11kV switchgear, 2 x
12/24MVA transformers and associated control/auxiliary equipment.
4.2
On completion the existing equipment would be dismantled.
SUBSTATION STANDARDISATION
5.1
Subject to satisfactory contractual terms, it is proposed to equip the
replacement substation with Siemens 33kV and 11kV switchgear of the type
installed at Lord Street, Middle River and Douglas North primary sites.
5.2
Standardisation will reduce the cost of spares holding, maintenance and
produce savings in the training of staff on the safe operation of the equipment.
