BPA doesn't have enough firm electric power to meet its customers' future needs. We've already told the direct-service industries we won't be able to offer new contracts to them when their present contracts expire. We no longer guarantee firm energy to investor owned utilities. We can't even guarantee . serving the full requirements of publicly owned utilities and cooperatives after HKS.'l. By law. they get first call on federal powei But what do you do when there isn't enough to go around? Who should get the power? The decision isn't easy to make. But under the Bonneville Project Act. the BPA AdmmiMiator must determine which customers get how much federal power. The law is clear that cooperatives and publicly owned utilities get first call. But, should this allocation of power go to newly formed public utilities as well? Should some preference customers be cut back more than others? On January 23, 1978, we filed a notice of intent to develop an allocation policy. We received a lot of comments and suggestions. With those in mind, we have now drafted a formal proposal. Talk to us. It's important that you know about and think about the proposed policy. Its effect on your community may be profound. So find out what it i. Then give us your comments and suggestions.
