HAMDT 703 (98th)

An amendment which allows any private or public utility not eligible for Hoover Dam power to have the opportunity to receive the 502,000 kilowatts energy which will be available when Hoover Dam power is uprated. Uprated refers to a process whereby the dam operates more efficiently; thereby, increasing its energy output. It gives greater consideration to areas serving large residential loads in the allocation of the uprated power. And it also gives preference to entities serving those areas where the retail electric rate for residential use is higher than the average for the state in which the entity serves.
