The Federal Power Act provides that federal power will be offered for sale to public, municipal and rural electric <br />customers first and then the remaining power, if any, to profit making utilities lik e investor-owned utilities. All of the CRS P <br />power is now allocated among these “preference” customers. Power revenues pay the bills for reclamation projects in the <br />West. Power also pays for the federal investment in powe r facilities as well as annual operations and maintenance, <br />interest on the federal investment, and the federal investment in irrigation facilitie s beyond the ability of irrigators to rep ay – <br />currently more than 95 percent. In return for a $974 milli on federal investment in the Up per Basin's CRSP power features, <br />the Treasury will receive more than $5 billion in power revenues: a 500% return on investment. Power revenues also pay <br />for environmental programs like salinity control projects, the Upper Basin Recovery Implementation Program for <br />endangered fish species (RIP), and the Glen Canyon <br />Adaptive Management Program. <br />CRSP customers <br />include rural electric <br />associations, genera- <br />tion and transmission <br />cooperatives who <br />wholesale to associa- <br />tions, federal facilities, <br />universities, state <br />agencies and Native <br />American Nations. <br />CRSP power serves <br />about 50% of the resi- <br />dential and tribally <br />owned business elec- <br />trical needs of all of <br />the Native American <br />Nations in these <br />states. Some of the <br />power produced by <br />CRSP facilities sup- <br />plies energy to, <br />among others, the <br />Navajo, Hopi, Sho- <br />shone, Ute and <br />Apache Nations. <br /> 8 <br />
