Boulder Canyon Project-Post-2017 Application of the Energy Planning and Management Program Power Marketing Initiative
Document Number: E9-27910
Type: Notice
Date: 2009-11-20
Agency: Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration
The Western Area Power Administration (Western), Desert Southwest Region, a Federal power marketing agency of the Department of Energy (DOE) announces its Post-2017 remarketing effort for the Boulder Canyon Project (BCP). Current BCP long-term contracts will expire on September 30, 2017. In 1995, Western adopted the Power Marketing Initiative (PMI) in Subpart C of the Energy Planning and Management Program (Program) (10 CFR part 905). The Record of Decision for the Program states that application of the PMI will be done on a project- specific basis. If, by means of a public process, Western applies the PMI to the BCP, the current long-term contractors of the project would receive an extension of a major portion of the resources available to them at the time their contracts expire. Western now proposes to apply the PMI to the long-term power contracts of the BCP.
