Financing Problems Talked
Ài Power Council Meeting
"Every possible financial
means must be utilized to ac
complish power resource de
velopment In the Pacific North
west,” said Ivan Laird, last
week after a meeting of the
Pacific Northwest Public Pow
e r Council held in Portland.
Laird, president of North
west Intertle, Inc., and a di
rector on the Board of Coos-
Curry Electric Cooperative,
pointed out the financial need
for funds prompted the for
mation of Northwest Intertle,
Inc., by rural electric coopera
tives of Washington, Oregon
and Idaho.
Alan Jones, chairman of the
Pacific Northwest Public Pow
er Council, said a resolution
adopted by the council executive
committee urged Northwest In
tertle to “ work with all other
Interested groups to achieve
financing resources and meth
ods to meet the power require
ment of the region.”
'the Council previously had
recognized theWashlngton Pub
lic Power Supply System as an
acceptable entity to finance pub
lic power developments. The
WPPSS combine consists of
Washington PUDs and one mu
nicipal power system.
‘‘Discussion of the North
west Intertle resolutlonbrought
out that the region will require
every one of Its existing and
qualified financing entitles to
provide the funds needed for
development of the hydro-elec
tric and thermal power resour
ces we need in the very near
future,” Jones said. "T h e
Council therefore gives full en
couragement to public entities
such as Northwest Intertle and
the Washington Public Power
Supply System to proceed with
Intensive planning and pro
grams to meet the capital needs
of public power In fulfilling
our power supply responsib
ilities.”
Jones noted that the announ
ced hydro-thermal program to
meet Pacific Northwest needs
of the next 20 years would re
quire $15 billion In new capi
tal. Federal government In
vestment In multi-purpose ri
ver projects and related trans
mission wlirprovlde only about
one-third of the necessary to
tal Investment.
, "Public power entities within
the region, therefore, must be
prepared to provide a signifi
cant portion of the billions of
non-federal funds we shall need
for regional power supply,”
Jones said. "Adequatefinancing
by public power within the re
gion is vital to providing the
low-cost power which Is the
foundation of the Pacific North
west economy.”
