This table shows that a pertion of the <br /> <br />generated capacity within the State is dedicated for use outside the State and <br /> <br />that a portion of the Lara~ie River Station in Wyoming is dedicated for loads <br /> <br />in Colondo. <br /> <br />- -=< <br />I <br />, <br />1 <br />, <br /> <br />Tcble VIr shm'/s the total Fossil fuel conslJ;!i~d f;Jr electrical ger.et3tion. <br /> <br />Coal accolJnted for 32.9~ of the gene~ation, up from 74.2~ dur'ing 1976. <br /> <br />Figure I shows the historical and projected demand through 1987.

This <br /> <br />figure separates the total energy require~ents by type of utility. From this <br /> <br />graph, one can visualize the projected magnitudes of growth fer each of the <br /> <br />three types of utilities. Investor-owned electric utilities accounted for <br /> <br />-, <br /> <br />65.7% of the 3tate's 1977 energy requirements. The ten-year proj!cted comoounded <br /> <br />annual growth rate is 5.3, 11.0, and 7.0, resp!ctively, fer inv!stor-, cooperative-, <br /> <br />and municiQally-owned utiliti!s. <br /> <br />1402 <br /> <br />-3- <br />
