This is <br />a valuable and vit,l resource for us and the loss of it <br />would cause great economic hardship to our District a.~d <br />its l:lembers. <br /> <br />.'fe urge you to renew contracts ;iith existing <br />customers that have come to denend unon this rescurce <br />as a portion of the resource b~se av~ilatle~ :~ also <br />stand ready to discuss with you the possibility of <br />increasing the load factor for this power ~nd energy, <br />the purch8.se by.lestern of firming capa.ci ty in '.>later shcrt <br />years end other contract options that you heve been <br />discussing with the CREDA Mlill<ETING Cc~~ittee. Our <br />District is a member of CREDA thrcugh tne Irrig?tion <br />~nd ~lectrical Districts A3soci~tion of Arizona and we <br />support the comments that both these associations have <br />'filed on these criteria. <br /> <br />In order to optimize the resources of ;iestern, we <br />believe that the caoacity it ceill have availatle for <br />marketinc: should not be on the basis of an 8.dverse water <br />year but-rather a 75% exceedance v2lue. The C~SF customers <br />coulJ D~rchase this additional canacitv above adverse <br />water conditions probably on a contingency basis or, more <br />preferably, have Nestern firl:l up the contingent capacity <br />and supply energy with that capac~ty as required. <br /> <br />Ne strongly support the concept that energy deliveries <br />be at 70% lo~d factor rather than 50.2%, with incre~ental <br />costs, if 2ny, to be borne by the custoners. <br /> <br />25 <br />
