the Council's electric conservation and tHO and a 



half times that cost per unit of energy saved with the 

 COUNCIL'S $7 Billion prediction. 



The following Table suggests a more cost effective use 

 of only a portion of $2.8 Billion to acquire new 

 generation of 1500 average Megawatts of electrical 



energy and much more if using the Northwest Power 



Planning Council's estimate of the costs of 

 conservation .

 (BPA Acquisitions of SVG Interface Substations)

For $2.8 Billion 



For $7.0 Billion 



(Mote: At SJSO/A/^ a 105 J MM-installed nameplate 

 capacity, SVB Interface Substation Investment Is 

 SI 68. US Million In a 1000 HH-gross maximum capacity 

 Plant. Then provisioned nlth Independent PoMor 

 Producer 's Solar Voltaic Unit Generator modules, 

 that 980 antf-gross dependatfle capacity SVG Plant

Cost of the conservation program is better spent on new 

 revenue-producing generation that produces revenue than 

 on thick-insulation, energy saving devices, conversions 

 to natural-gas. and on replacing revenue lost on 

 curtailed electric sales.
