Question 3 : Please provide a schedule on a monthly basis of the following items for the first 



two quarters of fiscal 1993: 



a) out of region power purchases (volumes and price); and 



b) sales (volume and price) to the aluminum smelters, and 



c) power purchases made on behalf of the aluminum smelters to meet th«r 

 1st quartile needs; and 



d) a monthly schedule of fees from alununum smelters for transmission 

 services 



Answer (a): The following are power purchases ( both spot and block purchases ) that 

 BPA considers out of region, that is from the Pacific Southwest and from 

 BC Hydro. These values include Industrial Replacement Energy ( IRE ) that 

 the smelters purchased to meet their top quartile load. 

 Out of Region Power Purchases 



Please note that all the energy reports are not yet final, so these values are to 

 be considered draft 



Answer (b); Since this portion of the question and the next portion of the question 



differentiate between sales to the smelters and sales to only the first quartile, 

 we assume you are requesting sales of energy (including transmission ) to all 

 four quartiles by BPA and other utilities. The energy to serve the restricted 

 top quartile load (Industrial Replacement Energy) noted in portion (c) below 

 are energy purchases from utility sources other than BPA. The other three 

 quartiles are served by BPA as part of BPA's firm load. The data below is the 

 sum of energy provided by BPA and energy provided by other utilities.
