Arrangements have also been made with other regions and projects of the Bureau of Reclamation for the wheeling of CRSP power. The Parker-Davis Project delivers CRSP power over its system, and the CRSP pays annually for this service. Such costS are included in the CRSP repayment study under O&M costs and amount to around $300,000 per year. The Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program (P-SMRB) system delivers CRSP power over its system, and the CRSP pays the construction costs of any additional facilities over and above those needed for delivery of P-SMRB power alone. These additional costs are included in the CRSP repayment study under power investment costs and are equivalent to an annual cost of over $1 million. e. Other expenses. Other expenses included in the repayment study are for facilities which will be constructed in the Upper Basin for salinity control of the Colorado River. These costs are estimated to start in fiscal year 1979 and run through 2059, with the average annual cost including amortization, 0, M, and R, amounting to about $300,000. 6. Revenues. The gross annual power revenues of the CRSP, as shown in the repayment study of paragraph F, started in fiscal year 1964 at $502,000 and have been steadily increasing with a peak of $50,490,000 expected in fiscal year 1982, the year in which the last generating unit (Central Utah Project) is estimated to be placed in service. Table E-9 gives the estimated future revenues, broken down into various categories_ The data are displayed to the nearest $1,000 and consequently, some of the arithmetical totals across or down the columns may differ slightly from the data shown. A discussion of the categories follows: a. Project use. This category includes the use at the storage unit dams and reservoirs for visitor centers and government camps. It is expected that the money collected will be about $24,000 per year, which represents about 4 GWh @ 6 mills per k\fu. b. Firm energy. This category includes the energy revenue component of the firm energy sold to customers and the energy supplied for pumping on the participating projects and for salinity control. The aforementioned uses have been lumped together in the revenues, since the same rate applies for pumping energy as for firm energy sales. The firm energy revenues shown on Table E-9 were obtained by applying the appro- priate energy rate to the sum of the energy shown on Table E-7 for project pumping and firm sales. For the period through December 1976, the rate applied is the existing rate of 3 mills. For January 1977 and thereafter the rate applied is the new rate of 3.4 mills. c. Nonfirm energy. The nonfirm energy revenues shown on Table E-9 were obtained by applying a 5 mill rate to the nonfirm energy shown on Table E-7. The 5 mills appears reasonable in view of the revenues obtained from such sales in the past year. 36
