<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Projecting fuel conservation revenues throughout the study is a departure <br />from the assumption made in the 1977 study. The average annual net revenue <br />from fuel conservation (or fuel replacement energy sales) for the four-year <br />period from 1978 to 1981 was about $3 million. This amount was projected <br />through 1984. The estimate for 1985 and thereafter was increased to about <br />$3.6 million annually, on the assumption that completion of the western <br />Colorado 345 kV transmission system would permit additional fuel replacement <br />sales. <br /> <br />In addition to higher rates, increased transmission service revenues are <br />based on the assumptions (1) that the firm transmission service now under <br />contract would continue to be provided throughout the study period, although <br />not necessarily to the same contractors, and (2) that additional transmission <br />service revenues will be obtained when the western Colorado 345-kV <br />transmission system is placed in service. The actual transmission service <br />revenue for FY 1981 was $2 million; about $2.1 million was projected for <br />1982. With the increased rates and the expected utilization of additional <br />capacity in western Colorado, this was increased to nearly $4.6 million by <br />1990. <br /> <br />14 <br />
