Ad- <br />ditional generating plants will be constructed on the Colorado-Big <br />Thompson Project, one at Kortes, and one at Glendo in the North Platte <br />River District. It is proposed to connect all Government generating <br />plants in this area with an interconnected transmission system, as <br />well as private power systems, so as to join a network for delivery of <br />both firm and seconda!'y power to important load centers, utilities, <br />munieipalitios, cooperatives, industrial plants, and for irrigation <br />pumping and construction purposes. <br /> <br />Transmission lines arc an essential part of several other proj- <br />ects in the Basin.
