WAPA’s Desert Southwest Region, based in Phoenix, Arizona, operates and maintains more than 3,100 miles of transmission lines and facilities in Arizona, California, and Nevada. WAPA’s transmission system in Nevada includes Mead Substation, a facility of the southern portion of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie Project (Intertie) and an important trading hub for wholesale power which offers access to multiple markets throughout the western United States. The Intertie was authorized by Section 8 of the Pacific Northwest Power Marketing Act of August 31, 1964.1 The basic purpose of the Intertie was to provide, through transmission system interconnections among certain Federal and non-Federal power systems, maximum use of power resources to meet growing demands. WAPA also operates and maintains transmission system assets in the area of Boulder City, Nevada pursuant to its ParkerDavis Project legislative authorities.2 Finally, WAPA has statutory authority under its Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) to borrow up to $3.25 billion from the Department of the Treasury for the purpose of (1) constructing, financing, facilitating, planning, operating, maintaining, or studying construction of new or upgraded electric power transmission lines and related facilities with at least one terminus within WAPA’s service territory, and (2) delivering or facilitating the delivery of power generated by renewable energy resources constructed or reasonably expected to be constructed.3 Transmission capacity in the area of Boulder City, Nevada, is congested due to high demand and WAPA seeks to reduce that congestion by increasing transmission capacity. In this notice, WAPA solicits SOIs to allow WAPA to 1 Public Law 88–552, now codified at 16 U.S.C. 837g. 2 The Parker-Davis Project was formed by consolidating two projects, Parker Dam and Davis Dam, under terms of the Consolidate Parker Dam Power Project and Davis Dam Project Act on May 28, 1954. Public Law 83–373. 3 WAPA’s Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) implements Section 301 of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 16421a). For each TIP project in which WAPA participates, the WAPA Administrator must certify, prior to committing any funds for the project, that the project is in the public interest, the project will not adversely impact system reliability or operations or other statutory obligations, and it is reasonable to expect the proceeds from the project shall be adequate to repay the loan.
