Volume I of the study investigates the changes in financing structure, administrative licensing, and environmental law which are necessary to expedite future electric power generation in the Pacific Northwest. The present roles of public and private utilities, direct-service industries, and the Federal government are reviewed. Existing areas of joint coordination, planning, and financing between these groups are described. The study discusses the financing of the existing electric power facilities in the Northwest. An estimate of needed future construction capital is made and alternative methods for raising this capital, at the lowest possible cost to the consumer are proposed. The study outlines a new role for the Federal government in financing new generation.
