March 1998 Western Area Power Administration 1-5 Section 1 Introduction The Replacement Resources Process to date, including the Methods Report completed in Phase 2, examines only the feasible methods for evaluating power supply alternatives to replace the generating capability made unavailable at OCD. The actual solicitation, evaluation, acquisition, and integration of replacement resources by Western will occur later, in the next phase of the process. The final operating criteria at OCD, the ultimate SLCAIIP marketable resource, and the customers' replacement resource demand are not precisely defined at present. Additional changes in these parameters could also occur in the future based on research and long-term monitoring at OCD, operational changes at other federal facilities, and future changes in resource decisions by Western's customers. This report therefore identifies economically and technically feasible methods appropriate to a wide range of potential future replacement resource needs. Table 1-2 summarizes both completed and projected milestones for Phase 2 of Western's Replacement Resources Process.
