QWhy doesn't Utah Power 1 UnM build more dams and use m of the cleaner and cheaper hydro-electric hydro-electric generation instead ol buildm, more coal-fired generating plants? S A The management of the com. pany would be delighted il they could find suitable locations lor addi' tional hydro-electric installations At the present time almost all feasible hydro-electric sites in our country have been utilized; most of the remaining attractive sites are in national parks and scenic areas and not available tor dam construction. It should be noted that an economically acceptable site for a hydro-electric plant requires , 1 a year-round large supply of running i-' water; small streams do not have large enough flows of water to provide i - acceptable sites for hydro-electric ! j installations. The Stale of Utah's one large hydro- -i electric installation is at Flaming Gorge, and the power available from this facility is totally committed. There are no further firm plans to construct hydro-electric dams on other possible Utah sites, which are in national parks and scenic areas. Installed generating capacity in the State ol Utah, including both steam and hydro, is not adequate ii to supply the energy requirements of people in the state; for example, . 1975, 48 of the needed power that ' UP&L supplied its customers in Utah - came from a steam-electric plant in Jd Wyoming, and whenever available, from hydro-electric generation of other companies in the Northwest. Electric rates: ? increasing in Utah, L decreasing elsewhere? p FC QWhy are rates increasing in Utah while others ' are decreasing? j A Electric rates are increasing everywhere, and isolated, rare t instances of rate decreases are special i situations of very short duration. In the UP&L service area rates for residential service have increased about the some as the cost of living index for food and services since 1967. Why are power rates lower in the Northwest? QWhy, in power-rich Utah, where .there is an abundance of cheop coal and water power, are rates s higher than cities in the Northwest? A First, there is not on abundance . of water power in Utah. Thera of power companies in the Northwe are lower than most other western iff ities because of the fact thai I they have been, up to now, Pe" hydro-generation utilities-where ne cost for fuel (falling water) is era j sites were available for coniueon additional dams to generate po using falling water, this was jh.. J desirable and inexpensive way w generate electricity. .. are Second, since hydro-electnc am no longer available, Northwest are now turning to eo generation and nuclear plants . it is inevitable that 1h w. I eau customers' bills to 'ncre"fslome in more rapidly than those of custo , Utah. Address your questions ' s,9 s'ol"wM to Reddy Kilowatt. P O. oo '.oni. City, Utah 841 10.
