Box 11606 Salt Lake City, Utah 84147 Re: Post 1989 CRSP Marketing Criteria \lTe strongly recommend that the existing marketing area not be tam- pered with. Anticipated Project Use Loads Marketing of Project Use Power Prior to Need There is considerable project power set aside for use in future need as the reclamation projects develop and come on line. We favor, as first priority, allocation of the power and energy to the preference customers sUbject to timely notice and withdrawal. As a second priority the excess capacity could be contracted for peaking use subject to timely notice and withdrawal. The marketing for oil conservation excludes a large segment of the preference customers that do not have generation. . Service Seasons The current service season is satisfactory for our needs. Classes of Service - Alternative Our needs can best be served in the Winter Season by a firm allocation of capacity with a load factor of 58.2% or greater. Our Summer Season needs require additional capacity for peaking to offset a thermal supply ratchet. This is a significant requirement for our system. Capacity without energy meets this requirement. Municipal Utility Load Duration Curve The concept introduced in this paragraph of the Marketing Criteria is associated with the above classes of service. Our objective in scheduling and utilizing the CRSP resource is to pro- vide peaking requirements in order to maximize the load factor on a thermal contract for minimum unit cost per kilowatt-hour as well as to avoid ratcheting the demand toa new high during the peak system de.'nand. We would like to see this versatility retained. 61
