Box 11606 <br />Salt Lake City, Utah 84147 <br /> <br />Re: Post 1989 CRSP Marketing Criteria <br /> <br />Allocation - Classes of Customers <br /> <br />We are very strongly supportive of the past priority for allocation <br />of the resource, viz., project use loads, existing preference customers, <br />new preference customers, non preference customers. <br /> <br />Allocation - Alternatives - New Customers <br /> <br />Pe~haps the most controversial and the most difficult aspect of the <br />marketing process will be to establish a fair and equitable allocation <br />procedure, especially since the resource is inadequate to meet all needs. <br /> <br />We would like to suggest that study be given to the following procedure <br />or some comparable approach: <br /> <br />1. Identify the firm CRSP capacity that is available to <br />distribute. <br /> <br />2. Identify the specific preference entities that are elegible <br />to participate both existing and new, <br /> <br />3. Establish the allocable share of capacity to each entity on <br />the basis of a percentage of their total peak system load. <br />The allocation would be established as of a specified point <br />in time. No further capacity adjustment would be made for <br />the duration of the contract unless subjected to the same <br />process for all customers. The percentage rate would be <br />the same for all customers except there would be a diff- <br />erence between the Northern and Southern Division. <br /> <br />This scheme presupposes that CRSP cannot and should not be <br />the sole source of power and energy for anyone organization. <br /> <br />4.. Once the capacity is allocated, each organization could have <br />the option as to how they would use the capacity. Part could <br />be peaking with no energy during the peak system demand with <br />use at a higher load factor during the off peak season. <br />The annual load factor for each customer wo~ld be fixed with <br />seasonal latitude for peaking requirements. <br /> <br />Another alternative would be to separate the hydro resource <br />into two components; firm power and energy and peaking with- <br />out energy. Following this, USe the same percentage alloca- <br />tion process for the firm power and energy and allocate the <br />peaking power to utilities that can U3e peaking p~wer up to <br />a fixed percentage amount of available resource. <br /> <br />63 <br />
