<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1-11 <br /> <br />1. Power repayment studies would show repayment of all authorized proj- <br /> <br />ects. <br /> <br />2. Present rates would not be influenced by the cost of future projects <br /> <br />which may not be built. <br />3. Current ratepayers would not be required to pay higher rates caused by <br /> <br />the cost of future projects to be completed beyond the five year cost <br /> <br />evaluation period. <br /> <br />Conclusions <br /> <br />Based upon our analyses as described in this report, we believe that <br /> <br />an increase in CRSP rates is not warranted at this time. Power repayment stud- <br /> <br />ies show that the present CRSP rates produce more than sufficient revenues to <br /> <br />pay all operating costs, and are more than adequate to repay, within allowable <br /> <br />limits, Federal investment for projects expected to be in service within a five <br /> <br />year cost evaluation period ending in FY 1987. Repayment of future participat- <br /> <br />ing projects expected to be in service beyond FY 1987 can be shown by incorpor- <br /> <br />ating future rate increases to match future costs. <br /> <br />There are a number of other issues which we have identified in this <br /> <br />report which deserve reconsideration by Western and may further affect the <br /> <br />level of CRSP rates. <br />
