<br />B. TRANSMISSION DIVISION <br /> <br />The power system includes high voltage transmission lines that inter- <br />connect the CRSP hydro-powerplants and deliver power to major load <br />centers or to other delivery points. The system is interconnected with <br />adjacent Federal, public, and private utility transmission systems. The <br />Transmission Division was transferred to the Western Area Power Ad- <br />ministration, Department of Energy, in Fiscal Year 1978. <br /> <br />During 1990 new contracts were signed to deliver CRSP power to the <br />Silt Project, the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project, and the Jensen Unit of <br />the Central Utah Project. The contracts included Reclamation's new rate, <br />where appropriate, for irrigation pumping service on CRSP participating <br />projects. <br /> <br />Generation at CRSP powerplants amounted to 4,5 billion kilowatt hours <br />during water year 1990. The major portion, 3.79 billion kilowatt hours, <br />was produced at Glen Canyon Dam. The balance was produced at Flaming <br />Gorge, Blue Mesa, Morrow Point, Crystal, and Fontenelle Dams, <br /> <br />The following table lists the gross generation for Fiscal Years 1989 and <br />1990 and the percentage of change. <br /> <br />Powerplant <br />Gken Canyon <br />Flaming Gorge <br />Blue Mesa <br />Morrow Point <br />Crystal <br />Fontenelle <br />TOTAL: <br /> <br />GROSS GENERATION KWH <br />FY 1989 FY 1990 <br />3,966,143,000 3,793,819,000 <br />252,221,000 260,302,000 <br />155,528,000 149,329,000 <br />202,357,000 197,203,000 <br />96,244,000 91,181,000 <br />23.618,000 58.753.000 <br />4,696,111,000 4,550,587,000 <br /> <br />% Change <br />- 4.3 <br />+ 3.1 <br />- 4.0 <br />- 2.5 <br />- 5.3 <br />+59.8 <br />- 3.0 <br /> <br />40 <br />
