/V jw i on i ville Rates Are

Acting Bonneville Administrator
F. A. Banks today made public ad

sion approval, designed to permit

schedules
foi
“monthly” and “dump” power,
which are intended to encourage
early utilization of all power avail
able at Bonneville Dam.
Most important of the suggested
rates is a schedule which permits
purchase of power upon a monthly
basis, at a cost of %c per kilowatt
hour, plus a demand charge of 75c
per month per kilowatt. Minimum
charge for this service would be
75c per kilowatt of contract de
mand. The schedule, Administrator
Banks said, is designed particular
ly to meet the requirements of
smaller districts, cities and utilities
which are likely to operate at a
low load factor for the first few
years. The proposed rate also will
be helpful to purchasers now own
ing their own generating facilities
and desiring firm power to meet
their peak requirements.

they will' replace.
“Kilowatt
Year”
Stays—
Existing “Kilowatt-year” sched
ules for prime power will be con
tinued. Several minor changes will
be made to facilitate use of these
annual' schedules. Power at the
damsite rate of $14.50 per kilo
watt-year will be available not
only to industries, but to public
and private distribution systems
whose principal load is consumed
within 15 miles of the dam. Banks
pointed out that this new provision
would be particularly beneficial to
the municipal system of Cascade
Locks and to Skamania County
Public Utility District.
Administrator Banks pointed out
that in disposing of the electric
power produced at the Bonneville
dam consideration must be given
to certain policies if congress ex
pressed in the Bonneville statute.
