U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 831j. Equitable distribution of surplus power among States and municipalities; improvement in production of fertilizer
It is declared to be the policy of the Government so far as
practical to distribute and sell the surplus power generated at
Muscle Shoals equitably among the States, counties, and
municipalities within transmission distance. This policy is further
declared to be that the projects herein provided for shall be
considered primarily as for the benefit of the people of the
section as a whole and particularly the domestic and rural
consumers to whom the power can economically be made available, and
accordingly that sale to and use by industry shall be a secondary
purpose, to be utilized principally to secure a sufficiently high
load factor and revenue returns which will permit domestic and
rural use at the lowest possible rates and in such manner as to
encourage increased domestic and rural use of electricity. It is
further declared to be the policy of the Government to utilize the
Muscle Shoals properties so far as may be necessary to improve,
increase, and cheapen the production of fertilizer and fertilizer
ingredients by carrying out the provisions of this chapter.
