♦These Purchase Power Costs will not be incurred after 1997 if the Temperature 

 Control Device is completed as scheduled. 



3. What is the proposed FY 1995 purchase power budget for each of the PMAs? 

 ProTide an estimate of the purchase power costs incurred annually by each 

 PMA since FY 1984 due to water flow regimes instituted to further non-power 

 purposes. Please break down the purchase power costs incurred by each PMA 

 due to the requirements of each non-power project purpose.

BPA's proposed FY 1995 purchase power budget is $107.6 million. BPA has 

 generally not identified the various purchase power costs attributable to system 

 operations for non-power purposes. Because past power purchases have not been 

 accounted for in a way that permits identification of the need for the purchase, the 

 information requested would be extremely difficult and time consuming to compile. 

 BPA absorbs purchase power costs for power shortfalls incurred as a result of project 

 operations benefiting other authorized project purposes, so BPA has never before 

 needed to track the cause of those costs. 



Consequently, a further breakdown of the power purchase costs attributable to each 

 non-power project purpose would be virtually in:^ssible to compile with any accuracy. 



However, there is an exception in that BPA has generally documented its replacement 

 power purchases necessitated by implementation of flow measures for fish. BPA has 

 done so in an attempt to ensure its efforts to protect, mitigate, and enhaiice fish and 

 wildlife were consistent with the Council's Fish and Wildlife Program, and to enable 

 BPA to fulfill its section 4<h)(10)(C) allocation duties.
