Proposed power rate adjustment, Boulder Canyon Project --- Phoenix Area Office

Technical Report · Fri Feb 01 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5701468

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) is proposing to increase the rate charged for electric power from the Boulder Canyon Project. The Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (53 Stat. 1197), other legislation, and DOE Order RA 6120.2 require that power revenues repay power-related costs. Western is also required by Reclamation Law and DOE policy to sell its power resources at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business principles. The fiscal year (FY) 1990 power repayment study for the Boulder Canyon Project indicated that the existing composite rate would not generate revenues sufficient to repay all of the obligations assigned to power. Western, therefore, must increase its Boulder Canyon Project power rate in order to meet its financial obligations and comply with federal law.
