<br /> <br />n~''i .,. :l <br />'.- ~,' '. -,., ., .... <br /> <br />~LTERNATIVE SOURCES OF GENERATION <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Federal, ~unicipal, and investor-owned utilities generate <br />most of the electric energy in the WSCC region. There <br /> <br />are, however, two small sources of generation which might <br /> <br /> <br />be drawn ~pon during emergencies: industrial and military <br /> <br />generating units. Of these two possibilities, the industrial <br /> <br />units are.the most likely to have available capacity since <br /> <br />i <br />many of them produce fossil fuel-generated power during <br />the dayli~ht hours and sometimes are idle during the <br />remainder ~f the day. However, there is no utility <br /> <br />control o~er the operating decisions of the industrial <br /> <br />companies and their acceptance of outside influences is <br /> <br />uncertain. Problems with linkages to the transmission <br />system also may exist. Further, it is probable that a <br /> <br />major portion of the industrial capacity is required for <br /> <br />process use. Appendix V, Table I presents the total <br />industrial generating capacity of the WSCC states. A <br /> <br />partial list of the major industrial facilities in Arizona, <br /> <br />California! Nevada, Idaho, Oregon and WaShington is <br />presented in Appendix V, Table 2. Data as to capacity of <br />each facility was not available at the time this report <br /> <br />was prepared. <br /> <br />39 <br /> <br />" '" <br /> <br />'<'"k t-.. <br />
