<br />-lO- <br /> <br />c) <br />o <br />,) vAter available for diversion through the tunnel by months for such a <br />G-'j <br />CO period as 1902 to 1941. This does not include approximately 12,000 aore- <br />01 <br /> <br />feet available from Meadow and Strawberry creeks. It is assumed that <br /> <br />this water is about enough to take care of the e',aporation from the West- <br /> <br />ern Slope reservoirs, and other losses. The average annual amount of <br /> <br />water available for diversion during the period was 309,900 aore-feet. <br /> <br />The total amount of energy tl1>.t can be generated by this water <br /> <br />by the Eastern Slope plants is 708,700,000 kilowatt-hours per year. The <br /> <br />average that can be generated by power plant No. 5 for the period under <br /> <br />consideration is estimated at 113,100,000 kilowatt-hours per annum. About <br /> <br />98,200,000 kilowatt-hours per annum oan be generated by the use of Big <br /> <br /> <br />Thompson water. An average of 43,500,000 kilowatt-hours per annum will <br /> <br />be required for pumping at the Granby pumping plant. The average net <br /> <br />amount of erergy therefore that can be generated by the pcmer plants of <br /> <br />the project for such a period as 1902 to 1941 is 876,500,000 kilovAtt- <br /> <br />hours. This, however, is not all firm energy. <br /> <br />It may be noted from the drawing that the years of lowest run- <br /> <br />off for the period 1902 to 1941 were 1934 and 1935. The peri od when the <br /> <br />least energy was available vAs the seven-month period extending from <br /> <br />October, 1934 to April, 1935, The amount of emrgy available during those <br /> <br />months averaged about 40,000,000 kilowatt-hours per month, or at the rate <br /> <br />of 480,000,000 kilowatt-hours per annum. <br /> <br />With peaking facilities provided for the Eastern Slope plants, <br /> <br />enough steam capacity exists in the Nor,thern Colorado interconnected <br /> <br />systems to firm the output of the proj~ot plants to 720,000,000 kilowatt- <br /> <br />hours per year at the plants. It is contemplated this firming would be <br />
