New customers meeting the requirements established in the BCP marketing criteria and qualifying Native American Tribes within the BCP marketing area will be eligible to request an allocation of capacity and energy from the BCP resource pool. Native American Tribes need not have utility status to qualify for an allocation. As provided in the current BCP Implementation Agreement, new contractors, or contractors who receive an increased allocation will be required to reimburse existing BCP contractors for replacement capital advances to the extent existing contractors’ allocations are reduced as a result of creating the resource pool. Western is seeking comments regarding the applicability of the PMI to the BCP, the quantity of resources to be extended to existing contractors, the size of the proposed resource pool, excess energy provisions, and the term of contracts. Under their respective State laws the Colorado River Commission (CRC) and the Arizona Power Authority (APA) have been the designated agents for acquiring and remarketing BCP power within Nevada and Arizona respectively. Western seeks comments regarding CRC and APA’s role in Western’s allocation process. Following the public comment period, Western will analyze the comments received and publish its policy regarding the application of PMI to BCP in the Federal Register.
