CONCLUSIONS

1. No firm power will be available to private utilities from

the Colorado River Storage Project.

2. The preference customers in the States of Colorado, New

Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona can by 1970, or only five years after

the first project power becomes available, absorb all the firm power.

3. By 1975 the preference users in the States of Colorado,

New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, exclusive of Arizona, can absorb ap-

proximately 80% of the firm power available.

4. By not later than 1980 the states of Colorado, New Mexico,

Utah and Wyoming can alone absorb all of the project firm power.

5. Assuming supply to preference customers in Arizona, at

no time would the private utilities be called upon to absorb any project

power to insure project repayment.

6. The transmission system as shown on Exhibits 1, 2 and

3 will:

(a) Be wholly federally owned,
(b) Serve all important preference eustomer load centers,

and

(c) Interconnect the Federal power systems of the Colo-

rado River Storage Project with those in the lower basin area of the Col-

orado River and the Western Division of the Missouri Basin thus permit-

ting full integration to the benefit of Reclamation repayment obligations

and customer cost of power.

7. Although 345 KV lines are considered adequate from an

engineering standpoint it is believed, unless conditions not here considered
