On June 30, 1976, you and your neighbors set a record. You collectively used more electricity than you ever had before. June 30 was a hot day. As temperatures elimbed, irrigation pumps and air conditioners were switched on. Demand for electricity shot upward. It was our “peak” day — the day of the year electric demand is highest. At its greatest, the peak was 1,960,000 kilowatts. Our hydro plants were able to generate less than half that amount. More than one-fourth of your electricity at peak came from coal burned at the Jim Bridger plant. Other power companies were able to supply one-fifth of your electricity.

By the middle of July, river levels had dropped sharply, reducing our hydro capacity. Our hydro plants were producing only a third of your electricity. Imported power from other utilities was providing another third. The rest came mostly from coal at Jim Bridger. Our 1976 peak was 145,000 kilowatts greater than our 1975 peak — an increase of 8 percent and a growth in your electric demand slightly higher than we had expected. We’re intent on providing you reliable and adequate electric service. And well do so if we can comply with all the environmental and regulatory requirements in time to construct new generating facilities to meet your growing needs.
