This includes 0.869 MW of summer withdrawable capacity and 0.619 MW of winter withdrawable capacity. • There are summer season and winter season capacities with a maximum energy available to the contractor of 3,441 kWh/kW of summer capacity and 1,703 kWh/kW of winter capacity.
Eligibility Criteria • First consideration will be given to entities who do not have a power resource contract with Western or are not a member of a parent entity that has a contract with Western (EPAMP) • Qualified applicants, except Native American tribes, must be ready, willing, and able to receive and distribute or use power from Western.
Eligibility Criteria (Cont.) • Qualified applicants (including cooperatives, public utility districts, public power districts and municipalities) that desire to purchase power from Western for resale to consumers must have electrical utility status by April 1, 2006. • For the P-DP, Western will consider making allocation to municipal utilities, other than electrical utilities, that are recognized as utilities by their applicable legal authorities, are nonprofit in nature, have electrical facilities, and are independently governed and financed.
