Abstract
This paper attempts to explain the problems of peak load as they have occured and grown in the Ashburton region. The growth of spray irrigation load in Mid Canterbury during the past decade has had a marked effect on the operations of the Ashburton Electric Power Board. Indications are that the load will continue to grow during the foreseeable future.
