Mar. 03, 1961 - International Exchange of Power: From the white cliffs near Dover, England, stretches the testing cable for a new high-power link that will enable Britain and France to exchange surplus power this. Because of the different habits of the two countries, each has power to spare at different times. Thus one is able to carry the additional load at the other's peak period. The scheme will cost a total of more than £12, 600, 000 but both countries are expected to show an individual annual saving of about 00, 000 and to avoid the building of new power stations, one in Britain and one in France, each costing about 2, 400, 000. Both countries will lay half of the cable which will join under the 30 mile stretch of sea
