Prize money was spoi tred Jointly by the Port Orford cham ber of com m erce and Coos- Curry Electric Co-op. er Vdmiiüstratiou,who w ill un- der an exchange agreement with Coos-Curry Electric continue to I furnish the electrical energy. In explaining the exchange agreement Shavere said, "pur chasing 2 percent of the Hanford Project output means we w ill pay 2 percent of the project's annual costs and agree to trans fer this amount of Hanford en- ergy to the Bonneville Power Administration, which in ex- change, agrees to deliver firm power to Coos-Curry for the term of the 30 year agreement The amount of firm power to be delivered is determined by a p p l y i n g BPA's rate to the amount of money paid by Coos- Curry Electric, to cover the 2 percent of the Hanford Project's annual costs. " "In other words", S h a v e r e said."we w ill receive the same ¡amount of firm power from BPA f a s if wc were making the pur- I chase directly Irom them, in . addition, w e gain the advantage ' of obtaining a thirty year con- I tract ol firm power and at the same tim e discharge an obliga- | tion to c o n t r i b u t e to a new I source of low cost posver to pro long and insure our own aswell as the region's supply of electri cal energy. " Shavere also pointed out that BPA, in turn, benefits from the I Hanlord exchange agreement I not only by increasing its own resources, but by being able to firm up additional amounts of secondary energy. Thus BPA is able to convert the 800,000 ! kilowatt output at Hanford into | 90S, 000 kilowatts of depend able power to better serve the region.

Additional firm power to sell is very necessary to BPA, in order to erase some of the def icit which has plaqued them for the past four years. The Han ford Project and the California ' inter-tic are tw oof the big steps j in this direction Shavere said ! and concluded, "that if Bonne v ille Power Administration did not end up in the black in the next throe years, a wholesale rate increase by BPA could be expected which would probably mean a rate increase throughout the entire Pacific Northwest".
