3. Project Energy Sales. Table 2 shows the RGP energy sales, transmission losses, generation, and purchases for the three options for Fiscal Year 1981 throu9h Fiscal Year 2034. The summer deliveries for Fiscal Year 1981 through Fiscal Year 1989 are the estimated sales to Plains and T or C plus an allowance of 5.5 percent of the sales for transmission losses. The 5.5 percent is a commitment established by the contract between Plains and the United States, by which the United States is to provide power and ener9Y for the estimated transmission losses on the system of Plains from the points of interconnection with the United States (Albuquerque and Elephant Butte) to the delivery points which had previously been on the RGP transmission system (Alamagordo, Deming, Hollywood, Socorro, Tor C, and Willard). For the years after 1989, when the aforementioned contract expires and no firming energy deliveries are expected from the CRSP, the summer ener9Y deliveries and sales are assumed to be at the Elephant Butte Switchyard, and no allowance is made for transmission losses. For Fiscal Year 1981, the firm energy sale is the ener9Y asso- ciated with the delivery durin9 the summer season of 21,880 kW to Plains at 58.2 percent load factor and 2,120 kW to T or C at approximately 69.5 percent load factor (the average seasonal load factor of deliveries to T or C for the 1975 through 1979 period). The latter was used as the esti- mated load factor of deliveries to T or C in Fiscal Year 1981 because T or C was not expected to have a supplemental suppl ier in that year. On the assumption that Tor C will have a supplemental supplier after Fiscal Year 1981, the firm energy sale for the Fiscal Year 1982 through 1989 period was estimated to be the energy associated with the del ivery of ener9Y durin9 the summer season of 21,880 kW to Plains and 2,120 kW to T or C, both at 58.2 percent load factor. For the Fiscal Year 1981 throu9h Fiscal Year 1989 period, it has been assumed that purchases of energy will be made as needed to firm up the RGP generation. As shown on Table 2, Option A is the only option requiring ener9Y purchases. For the Fiscal Year 1990 through Fiscal Year 2034 period, it has been assumed that for all options there will be no purchases of ener9Y for firming and that the sales will be equal to the generation. 4, Project Capacity Sales. Table 3 is a tabulation of the RGP capacity sales, transmission losses, generation, and purchases for the three options for Fiscal Years 1981 through 2034. For the summer seasons of Fiscal Years 1981 through 1989, the summer capacity deliveries are at the same points -- Elephant Butte Switchyard and Albuquerque -- and with the same percent of allowance for transmission losses as the summer energy deliveries for Fiscal Years 1981 through 1989, as described in paragraph VII, D. 3. above. For the years after 1989, the summer capacity deliveries and sales are at the Elephant Butte Switchyard and Albuquerque, with no allowance for the transmission losses. For all years, the summer sales are 24,000 kW. In the wintertime, the capacity sales are zero for Options A and Band 24,000 kW for Option C, and the delivies and sales are at the Elephant Butte Switchyard and Albuquerque, with no allowance for transmis- sion losses. _ ". -'f., # U) i it ~ '1 21
