<br /> <br />Storage Project. These stu ies did not cover questions of ownership <br />of lines or transmission co ts. These studies made during 1960 indi- <br />cated that the integrated c mbination transmission system proposed <br />by the investor-owned util ties in October, 1959, was the best engi- <br />neering solution to the pro lem of marketing project power. <br /> <br />Costs for Trans orting Power <br /> <br />During 1960, the five investor-owned utilities submitted firm <br />wheeling rates to the Bure u for transporting project power which <br />would flow over their tra smission lines. The term "wheeling," as <br />used in this sense, applies t charges made for transporting electricity <br />for one supplier over trans ission lines owned by another supplier. <br /> <br />Wheeling Rat s Submitted by the Utilities <br /> <br />Arizona Public Service C mpany <br />Pacific Power and Light o. <br />Public Service Company f Colorado <br />Public Service Company f New Mexico <br />Utah Power and Light Co pony <br /> <br />$6.7 4/kilowatt year <br />I mill/kwh <br />I mill/kwh <br />$6.00/kilQwatt year <br />$7.75/kilowatt year <br /> <br />These rates give full onsideration to the dual purpose use of <br />the utilities' lines. Since the e facilities will be used to transport power <br />to the utility company cus omers as well as project power to prefer- <br />ence customers, the Burea would only pay transmission charges for <br />line capacity used. This ty e of arrangement makes optimum use of <br />transmission facilities and aves the Bureau needless operating costs <br />on their own facilities. <br /> <br />6 <br />
