Western will consider a variety of resource options, both <br />supply-side and demand-side, as well as renewable resource options, <br />which would enable it to provide reliable service to its customers at <br />the lowest possible system cost. <br /> <br />Western has been formulating a plan (I) to prepare, through <br />consultation, the report on the economically and technically feasible <br />methods of replacing lost Glen Canyon Dam power, and draft legislation <br />if necessary; and (2) to identify the range of replacement resources <br />needed and the necessary revisions to existing wholesale firm power <br />contracts to accommodate replacement resource obligations. Western will <br />implement the acquisition of any replacement resources later, through a <br /> <br />separate process. <br /> <br />2 <br />
