<br />SOURCE OF FIGURES ON REVISED SUMMARY OF ESTIMATED COSTS OF 940,000 <br />AS. CURECANTI, UTILIZmG AVAIIMlLE POWER DROP TO CRYSTAL SITE <br /> <br />1. Land and Land Rights <br /> <br />This figure taken frJ~ U. S. Bureau of Reclamation report <br />2. Relocaticn <br /> <br />This figure taken from U.. S. Bureau of Reclamation report. <br /> <br />3. Dam-Spillnay-Outlet Works <br /> <br />Thiq figure taken from U.S. Bureau of Reclamation report. <br /> <br />4. Power Pl;; lt <br />Th8 3ize of the power plant was calculated as follows: <br />Ih,. 'J]"iginal Curecanti figures were based on a rated head of 295 feet. <br />Fre',: C'urecanti to the high water level of the 40,000 A.F. Crystal unit <br />is ?,,'~ feet. Allowing a loss of head of 10 feet per mile of tunnel, <br />the,e is left an available head of 205 feet. Since the original unit as <br />per 11. S. Bureau of Reclamation report would be 40,000 KW., the increase <br />of 2/l,000 kwh was arrived at as a ratio of the two heads. ie j 205/295 X <br />40,000 = 28,000. The net salable generation was arrived at as a ratio of <br />66,000/40,000 X 195,000,000 kwh 2 370,000,000 kwh as shown in line 29. <br /> <br />7. Transmission Line and Substations <br /> <br />The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation report showed transmission costs of <br />t5,6EO,OOO, which apparently was based on.region wide costs per KW of in- <br />stalled capacity. Hcmever, in line with Bureau of the Budget circular <br />No. A-47, it )las felt that the only costs that should be shOl'll1 are those <br />necessary to connect the plant to the markets nearby, and the existing <br />U. S. Bureau of Reclamation connection at Gunnison, and the PUblic <br />Service Company ".t Gl'and Junction. The 1,000,000 figure was taken from <br />recent study submitted by Laramore and Douglass Engineering firm of <br />Chicago, Illinois, for 115 KV line. <br /> <br />In th~ above mentioned report by Laramore and Douglass, 115-44KV sub- <br />statiJns were listed at ~20.00 per KVA in 10,000 KVA sizes. These in- <br />cluded tap changing under load transformers. It is difficult to fix <br />the requirements for the local market area, but the $750,000 allowance <br />for substations is enough for 37,500 KVA of substation capacity at <br />$20.00 per KVA. Since this is well OV9r half the entire plant capacity, <br />and s:~nce the entire "a?~cit~' of the V;eot~rn Colorado Power Co. is only <br />31,73;~ KH., it was f",lt that tllis alY,c'J:.lt was ample, The \Testern Colo- <br />rado Power Co. serves nea",ly all of the existing local market. <br /> <br />6.
