Marketing Initiative of the Program’s
Final Rule, 10 CFR part 905, published

Program, developed in part to
implement section 114 of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992, became effective on
November 20, 1995. The Program
establishes project-specific power
resource pools and the allocation of
power from these pools to new
preference customers. The allocation
procedures, in conjunction with the
General Power Marketing and
Allocation Criteria (51 FR 4012, January
31, 1986), establish the framework for
allocating power from the Loveland
Area Projects (LAP) resource pool. Only
comments relevant to the Proposed
Power Allocation will be accepted
during the comment period. After
considering public comments, Western
will publish the Final Power Allocation
in the Federal Register.
Written comments on the Proposed
Power Allocation must be received at
the address above by 4 p.m. MDT on
April 27, 2009. Western will respond
only to comments received on the
Proposed Power Allocation and publish
the Final Power Allocation after the end
of the comment period.
I. Post-2009 Pool Resources
Western will allocate up to 1 percent
(1%) of the LAP long-term hydroelectric
resource available as of October 1, 2009.
Approximately 6.9 megawatts (MW) of
capacity and 11.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh)
of energy will be available for the
summer season. Winter availability will
be approximately 6.1 MW of capacity
and 9.1 GWh of energy. This resource
pool will be created by reducing
existing customers’ allocations by up to
1%.
II. Proposed Power Allocation
In response to the call for
applications, Western received four
applications for the Post-2009 LAP
resource pool. The total amount of
energy requested by the applicants was
65.6 GWh. The resource pool will be
allocated proportionately by season
based on average seasonal loads for the
period April 2007 through March 2008.
The resource pool for capacity will be
allocated proportionately by season
based on average seasonal demand. The
allocations below are subject to the
minimum (100 kilowatts) and maximum
(5,000 kilowatts) allocation criteria. The
proposed allocations for the four
qualified allottees are shown in the table
below.
