<br />. <br /> <br />POWER PROI:UCTIOIJ AIm ~:AR!(ET:::NG <br /> <br />Power fu:r:ket. !\.rea and Requ:l.rements <br /> <br />TIle Federal Power Commission is currently making a power market <br />survey for the Colorado River Storage project. The market area covered <br />by the survey is shown on the map on the following page. <br /> <br />It is estimated that in addition to capacity and generation from <br />existing and scheduled plants in the market area, not including scheduled <br />plants of the Colo:ra~o River St~rage project, abcut 3,659,000 kilowatts <br />of generating capacity and 14,315,000,000 kilo.att-hours of generation <br />will be needed by 1970 to meet new power requirements throu3hout the <br />market area. The estimated additional requiremcntG for 1970 and 1980 are <br />summarized below. <br /> <br />Addit~.onal power and~nergy requirements <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Divi- <br />sion <br />No. <br />r <br />II <br />III <br />IV <br />V <br />VI <br /> <br />Principal <br />State <br />Nevada <br />Arizona <br />Utah <br />Colorado <br />Wyoming <br />new Mey.1co <br />Total <br /> <br />1970 <br />Million <br />kilbwa'tt- <br />hours <br />1,247 <br />2,871 <br />4,612 <br />4,708 <br />674 <br />201 <br />14,313 <br /> <br />Thousand <br />kilowatts <br />22I:J <br />954 <br />936 <br />1,146 <br />194 <br />201 <br />3,659 <br /> <br />Thousand <br />kilowatts <br />500 <br />2,806 <br />1,881 <br />2,538 <br />478 <br />496 <br />8,699 <br /> <br />1980 <br />Million <br />kilowatt- <br />hours <br />2,7I:J3 <br />11,770 <br />9,942 <br />12,134 <br />2,170 <br />1,802 <br />40,601 <br /> <br />POl?ez:plants are presently planned at three 01' the four authorized <br />uilits of the Colorado River Storage project and at the Central Utah par- <br />ticipating project. The total installed generating oapacity will be <br />1,228,000 )_llowatts, with the installed capacity at eacl1 powe:rplant as <br />tabulated on page 11. With allol?8IlCeS made for peak load. transmission <br />losses, an estimated 1,109,000 kilowatts of power oan be delivered to <br />load centers. <br /> <br />Pm?er Production <br /> <br />Future power production has been estimated on the basis of coordi- <br />nated reservoir operation studies as previously discussed. In accord- <br />ance with the operation studies, power production will cOll1lJlence at the <br />beginning of F1soal Year 1965 at the Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge units, <br />in Fiscal Year 1970 at the Curecanti unit, and in Fiscal Year 1974 at the <br />Central Utah projeot. All powe:rplants will be completed and in full pro- <br />duction by about the end of Fiscal Year 1985. The schedule of estimated <br />energy deliverable to load centers is shown in the table on page 23. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />. <br />
