Eastern Division <br /> <br />The Eastern Division markets power and energy to <br /> <br />approximately 240 preference customers that operate <br /> <br />inside the Eastern Division marketing area. These <br /> <br />preference customers are made up of municipal power <br /> <br />systems, REA-financed cooperatives, public power <br /> <br />districts, and state and Federal agencies. Some 145 <br /> <br />customers (mostly municipalities) buy their total <br />requirements from the Bureau through 1977. Others are <br /> <br />on fixed contract rates of delivery and supply their <br /> <br />additional requirements from their own generation or <br /> <br />purchases from an auxiliary supplier. Some customers <br /> <br />have winter peaks; some have summer peaks. The total <br /> <br />peakload of the 240 preference customers occurs in <br /> <br />the summer season, largely caused by the influence of <br /> <br />the losds of large preference entities in Nebraska. <br /> <br />The Eastern Division is interconnected with the South- <br /> <br />west Power Administration at Marysville, Missouri, and, <br /> <br />through a wheeling agent's system, with the Bonneville <br /> <br />Power Administration at Anaconda, Montana. From time <br /> <br />to time, when load and production conditions are opportune, <br /> <br />power and energy is interchanged with,sold to. or pur- <br /> <br />chased from these agencies on a short-term basis to <br /> <br />11 <br />
