<br />; <br /> <br />mean over all possible water supply conditions and the median being that <br />exactly one half of the water supply situations were less than median and <br />one half were more than median. The median case gives considerably less <br />energy available for market than the case of average water supply, in fact, <br />nearly 1,000 GWh less annually. <br /> <br />Slide II-9 <br /> <br />Other Projects <br /> <br />The other three projects in our market area have been listed here for your <br />information: Provo River, Rio Grande, and Collbran Projects. The sum of <br />all three of these projects is about 140 GWh of generation. That amounts to <br />about 2 percent of the energy available from CRSP plants. <br /> <br />Sl ide II-10 <br /> <br />Possible Future Resources - Generator Uprates <br /> <br />Three proj ects have been cons i dered by the Bureau of Rec 1 amat i on for th is <br />activity: Glen Canyon, Blue Mesa, and Flaming Gorge. Potential capacity is <br />listed in the first column. Dependable firm capacity, both winter and <br />summer ava il ab 1 e for market is zero. The reason for the seemi ngl y empty <br />benefits is our conservative practice of marketing capacity on a long-term <br />dependab 1 e bas is. If these generators were uprated, as suggested here, <br />available capacity from that uprate w.ould begin to be available about 85% of <br />the time. Most of the 226 MW upratec capacity is expected to be available <br />between 60% and 70% of the time. Some of that capacity may.be available 85% <br />of the time. Under those conditions, this additional capacity would be <br />marketed seasonally when reservoir levels were sufficiently high and the <br />necessary load existed. Capacity from upratings, when available, will <br />increase operating reserves and make possible prolonged outages of generat- <br />ing units for major maintenance over peak load periods, if necessary. <br /> <br />Sl ide II-ll <br /> <br />Possible Future Resources - New Plants and Additions <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation has plans for new plants at Jordanelle Dam, <br />Navajo Dam, Central Utah Project, and Dominguez Project. Power plant <br />additions are contemplated at Flaming Gorge, Glen Canyon, and Fontenelle <br />Dams. <br /> <br />Sl ide II-12 <br /> <br />Possible Future Resources - Pumped Storage <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation is contemplating major pumped storage projects at <br />Rim Basin, Utah Lake, Nipple Bench, Dunham Point, and the Central Utah <br /> <br />5 <br />
