The line was energized on February 6, 1948. <br /> <br />Hoover power <br />The cost of generating power at Hoover power plant has increased <br />during the last several years due in part to the general increase in <br />cost of labor and supplies_ The District share of such costs, based <br />on the exclusive use of the two 82.500-kva generating units N5 and <br />N6. was $362.725_27 for the year of operation ending May 31, 1947, <br />and is estimated at $392,000 for 1948, and $415,000 for 1949. The <br />capacity of units N5 and N6 in excess of District requirements is <br />being utilized by the Southern California Edison Company and the <br />City of Los Angeles. which together paid 86 per cent of the Dis- <br />trict's gross generating charges in the year of operation 1946-47, <br />and 79.5 per cent in 1947-48. In addition to the energy transmitted <br />to the Edison Company at Eagle Mountain and Hayfield, energy <br />for the Basic Magnesium project and for Henderson townsite, <br />amounting to 278,034,685 kilowatthours, was generated during the <br />year on the units assigned to the District and considered as part of <br />the Edison Company load. <br />Under the terms of the District-Edison Transmission Contract <br />dated May 31, 1945, power from Hoover Dam is being transmitted <br />and delivered to the Edison Company system at Hayfield and to the <br />substation of the California Electric Power Company at Eagle <br />Mountain pumping plant. The fixed and operating charges of that <br />portion of the District transmission system used jointly with the <br />Edison Company are apportioned in the ratio of the energy trans- <br />mitted for each party. For this service the Edison Company paid <br />$133,677_52 or 62.3 per cent of the net joint transmission cost for <br />the fiscal year after deducting earnings resulting from the use of <br />this line by parties other than the District and Edison Company. <br />Under a contract made in 1947. the Department of Water and <br />Power of the City of Los Angeles and the Southern California <br />Edison Company are jointly supplying power through the trans- <br />mission and other facilities of the District for delivery to the Parker <br />power system in order to relieve a power shortage in Arizona. <br />In accordance with this contract. 187,652,136 kilowatthours of <br />energy were delivered to the U. S. Government power system at <br />Parker D~m_ The District received credits amounting to $24,185 for <br />such use of surplus transmission capacity, in addition to the <br />amounts received for use of the Hoover generators and the joint <br />transmission line from Hoover Dam to Hayfield pumping plant. <br />
