The Department of Energy (DOE), Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Desert Southwest Region (DSW) has developed a Proposed 2028 Parker-Davis Project (P-DP) Power Marketing Plan (Proposed 2028 Plan). The Proposed 2028 Plan provides for marketing power from P-DP from October 1, 2028, through September 30, 2048. WAPA currently markets 259,206 kilowatts (kW) of capacity and associated energy from P-DP in the summer and 198,337 kW in the winter, under long-term contracts to 35 customers located in Arizona, California, and Nevada. On September 30, 2028, WAPA's existing long-term sales contracts for P-DP power will expire, and the Proposed 2028 Plan would take effect October 1, 2028. WAPA developed the Proposed 2028 Plan to define the products and services to be offered, along with Eligibility and Allocation Criteria that will lead to allocations of P-DP power to contractors. This Federal Register notice initiates the formal public process for the Proposed 2028 Plan. As part of the process, WAPA requests public comment.
