The venefits of interconnecting these coal plants to the Stot',age Pro- ject system can best be illustrated in the following: Revenues are increased some one rrJ.llion six hundred thousand dollars per year and operation, maintenance, and replacement cost is reduced $73,000 per year. The Storage Project is repaid five years earlier with great interest cost saving, so a total additional accumulation of $149,380,000 is made in the first 47 years and a total of two hm" dred nineteen million eight hundred twenty five thousand dollars dur- ing the entire pt;triod. ' The added revenues accumulated in the Basin FUnd. are on the conservative side. The actual reduction in Bureau investment is $30 million. Additional investment of $18 million is required to add a 345 kilovolt line from Glen Canyon to Pinnacle Peak plus associated substation facilities. These facilities are being underwritten by the Salt River Project in the early years of the Stor-- age Project. Additional Bureau revenues from savings in losses with the!:'lllal plant in1:erconnection are dete!:'lllined from 'info!:'lllation received from the Bureau of Reclamation. Our studies show that during peak loading conditions there are savings to this study. This would in- dicate an annual 8avi~gs of $1.200.000 per year if .these less saVings weN mfwketed at firm power sales.
