Long-term allocation of power from the Eklutna Project. Environmental Assessment
The Alaska Power Administration (APA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) (DOE/EA-0862) evaluating the Marketing Plan for the Eklutna Project that establishes long-term allocation and sales of power. The proposed long-term sales contract will replace long-term agreements that expire at the end of December, 1993. The EA evaluates the proposed alternative and the no action alternative. The proposed alternative replaces the expiring contracts with new 20-year contracts with the same terms, conditions and allocations as the previous long-term contracts. No other alternatives were developed, as the three preference utilities are the only ones in the marketing area, and the ratio of power allocations with proposed alternative are the same as those contained in a divestiture purchase agreement signed among the power customers. The divestiture of this Federal project is expected to be approved by Congress; the power contracts signed under the marketing plan would remain in force after the sale to the three existing customers, who would then own the project in the same ratio as the power sales contracts. The EA identified no actions associated with the proposal that will cause significant environmental or socioeconomic impacts. The Marketing Plan for the Eklutna Project deals with replacement of expiring contracts.
