<br />000585 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, These contracts provide for a total delivery of about 593 megawatts this <br />summer, increasing to a total delivery of about 942 megawatts in the <br />summer of 1970. The winter delivery for the corresponding period is ex- <br />pected to be less and would be about 403 megawatts and 713 megawatts, <br />respectively. At present, conrrnitments have not been made for increased <br />delivery beyond March 1971. <br />Several contracts with preference customers remain in the active ne- <br />gotiation stage, representing an increase of 40-50 megawatts for the s~ <br />mer of 1970 and about 25 megawatts for the 1970-71 winter totals. In addi- <br />tion to the firm power contracts, there are 19 Ehort-term contracts for <br />sale of nonfirm energy. <br /> <br />Most of the contracts are with the preference type customers which <br /> <br />are guaranteed the delivery of the contract amounts for a period of 20 <br /> <br />years. Five of the customers are nonpreference, such as the Pacific Power <br /> <br />and Light Company, and these contracts are for shorter terms, usually 5 <br /> <br />years. At the end of these short terms the contracts may be extended if <br />the available power is not required by preference customers. <br /> <br />Due to heavy summer loads in the Southern Division, the preference <br /> <br />customer market for firm power is presently somewhat higher in the summer <br />than in the winter. The imbalance between swmner and winter firm loads <br /> <br />will phase out as Northern Division loads come up to their share of capa- <br /> <br />bility. In the meantime, winter excess capacity will be used for Hoover <br /> <br />'d~iciencies, assistance to other projects, and to permit correction of <br /> <br />deficiencies inherent in new units as they are added at Fontenelle, Blue <br /> <br />Mesa, Morrow Point, Crystal, and Central utah. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
