B.P.A. offers
irrigation rates
The Bonneville Power Ad
ministraion has offered to cut
irrigation rates in half in
March and April in order to
help economically distressed
farmers.
"The Northwest's agricul
tural industy has been hit hard
by the economic recession and
high costs for everything they
need to grow crops," B.P.A.
Administrator Peter Johnson
said. "They asked Bonneville
for assistance, and we have
responded with an offer that
should provide significant
relief."
Johnson stressed that the
program will provide low-cost
non-firm (surplus) power to
irrigators. It will not, there
fore, affect the rates paid by
other classes of customers.

"As for the irrigators, mis '
program is not going to solve
the problem of low farm
commodity prices." Johnson
said. "But it should help irri
gators reduce their expenses
and hopefully encourage lar
ger irrigation loads. This re
sult would both stimulate the
region's economy and reduce
B.P.A.'s existing surplus."
Here's how the program
works: B.P.A. will sell whole
sale power for 1.3 cents per
kilowatt-hour to cooperatives
and publicly owned utilities in
March and April for their
irrigation loads. Power sold
for the rest of the spring and
summer will be priced at the
usual rate more than double
the nonfirm rate.
