ANALYSIS OF PRIVATE UTILITY WHEELING OFFERS

I

The Arizona Public Service Company on September 26, 1960, submitted
7
a letter to Mr. F. M. Clinton, Region IV, Bureau of Reclamation from which

I

the following is quoted:

"Based on the August 31, 1960 schedule which we understand will be

I

used for making comparisons we' wish to quote for estimating purposes

the following wheeling charges for delivery of energy by transmission

I

line to the Phoenix area, plus energy delivered by displacement at

Four Corners.

I

(a) Per kilowatthour for all energy delivered 1.177 mills.

I

This rate is applicable to the total annual energy shown on
8
Exhibit I as a minimum.. Energy wheeled above the minimum annual

I

quantity will be at no charge."

This means that the Company has proposed a flat charge based on energy shown

I

in its proposal, regardless of the actual kilowatthours of Project energy

I

wheeled in the State of Arizona. If Glen Canyon energy is withdrawn to the

Upper Basin at a faster rate than shown in the Bureau's August 31 load

I

schedule, preference users will pay a higher unit wheeling rate.

The Public Service Company of Colorado also submitted a new letter

I

to Mr. F. M. Clinton, stating that:

I

"For purposes of your study we suggest that you use a wheeling

rate of 1 mill per kilowatthour plus 6% of power and energy to cover

I

losses."

It was stated in the earlier CRBCP report the average wheeling distance in the

I

State of Colorado is probably in the range of 50-100 miles, and we expected
