<br />r <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CRSP power generated above Upper Basin reauirements, but there <br />was no immediate consensus on a permanent allocation for Arizona. <br /> <br />When the issue of the permanent allocation was raised at the <br />January 5, 1960 meeting between Arizona preference users and the <br />Upper Basin Preference Users' Committee, the Upper Basin <br />representatives held fast to the notion that ultimately all CRSP <br />electric power and energy must be available to their four states. <br />They did agree to promote the full use of CRSP power with other <br />participating preference users, but Arizona representatives <br />considered this a weak substitute. R.J. McMullin (SRP) and <br />Oakley Jordan (AMPUA) went on record as opposing any marketing <br />plan which limited CRSP power sales to the Upper Basin. <br />Moreover, they told the Upper Basin group that Arizona would <br />apply for a permanent allocation of power./39 <br /> <br />Arizona preference users were convinced that their plan of <br />system interconnection, utilization of seasonal diversity, with a <br />permanent allocation of CRSP power to their state, would have the <br />greatest benefits for CRSP and for Upper Basin preference <br />customers: they sought to persuade the Upper Basin preference <br />representatives to agree. <br /> <br />Upper Basin preference customers hoped to receive CRSP power <br />at a reasonable cost. A significant element in maintaining <br />reasonably priced electric power and energy at the consumers' bus <br />bar, according to Les Alexander (SRP) , was the ability to <br />interchange unused capacity between systems with different <br />seasonal peak requirements./40 FPC projected 1980 maximum <br />demands showed an Upper Basm-peak in December and an Arizona <br />peak in July:/4l Alexander thought Arizona preference userS could <br />deliver their-unused winter capacity to Upper Basin states as <br />needed. <br /> <br />Although the matter of diversity between the Upper and Lower <br />Basins had not been studied in detail,/42 the Bureau and <br />investor-owned utilities viewed the concept of diversity exchange <br />between the two regions as a feature with great economic <br />potential. The Colorado River Basin Consumers Power, Inc., the <br />formal organization created by merging the Upper Basin ?reference <br />Users' committee with Arizona preference users, believed their <br />craanization needed to take advantage of diversity in orner to <br />present a counterproposal competitive with the investor-owned <br />uti lit i e s' 9 r e e n boo k ,,1 an. <br /> <br />Arizona preference users believed that they had a very good <br />c~ance of unilaterally securing a sizeable CRSP allocation, based <br />on:~ uoon the size of t~eir preference market and available <br />re=o~rces.
