<br />POWER PRODUCTION
<br />
<br />Powcrplants are presently planned at, 3 of the 4 authorized units
<br />of the Colol'l1do River storage project and at the central Utah partici-
<br />pat.ing project. The ,total installed generating capacity will be
<br />1,228,000 kilowatts, with the installed capacity at each powcrplant
<br />as tabulatcd on page 8., With allowances made for reak-load tl'l1ns-
<br />mission losses, an estiIuated 1,109,000 kilowatts 0 power can be
<br />delivered to load centars.
<br />Future power production has been estimated on the basis of coordi-
<br />nated reservoir operation studies as previously discussed. In accord-
<br />ance with the operatioll studies, power production will commence at
<br />the beginning of fiscal; year 1965 at the Glen Canyon and Flaming
<br />Gorge units, in fiscal year 1970 at the Curecanti unit, and in fiscal
<br />year 1974 at the centrlll Utah project. All powerplants will be com-
<br />pleted and in full production by about t,he end of fiscal year 1985.
<br />The schedule of est.imated energy deliverable to load centers is shown
<br />in the table below.

<br />I Annual amounts or energy Cromthe central Utah proJoct are assumed to remain COnstlUlt arter 200l.
<br />I For the Colorndo R[ver storago ~roJect, tbo n.nnual alnounts of energy after 2021 arc assllmed to be con-
<br />stant and oqual to the 2O-year average obtn!nJ.Jd by continuing the study lrom the ytllU" 2022 through 204.1.
<br />
<br />The average annual ~nergy deliverable to load centers, adjusted to
<br />account. for time-value considerations in determining the average
<br />equivalent energy OVOlj a lOO-year period after each plant is in full
<br />production, is 5,920 million kilowatt-hours. This includes 5,558
<br />million kilowatt-hours 'for the units of the Colorado River storage
<br />project and 362 million kilowatt-hours for the central Utab project.
<br />The average annual eqhivalent capacity for 0, lOO-year period when
<br />adjusted in the same inanner as the energy is 1,095,000 kilowatts,
<br />including 1,036,000 kil<lwatt.s for the storage project and 59,000 kil-
<br />owatts for the central Btah project,
<br />During t.he filling p$'iod, firm energy for each yea,r is considered
<br />to be all the energy that can be utilized within the monthly load
<br />pattern to meet the annual load growth estimated for the power
<br />market area by the Federal Power Commission, Beginning with the
