U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 833e. Factors in determining rate schedules
It is the intent of Congress that rate schedules for the sale of
electric energy which is or may be generated at the Fort Peck
project in excess of the amount required for operating the dam and
appurtenant works at said project shall be determined with due
regard to and predicated upon the fact that such electric energy is
developed from water power created as an incident to the
construction of the dam in the Missouri River at the Fort Peck
project for the purposes set forth in section 833 of this title.
Rate schedules shall be drawn having regard to the recovery (upon
the basis of the application of such rate schedules to the capacity
of the electric facilities of Fort Peck project) of the cost of
producing and transmitting such electric energy, including the
amortization of the capital investment over a reasonable period of
years. Rate schedules shall be based upon an allocation of costs
made by the Secretary of Energy. In computing the cost of electric
energy developed from water power created as an incident to and a
byproduct of the construction of Fort Peck project, the Secretary
of Energy may allocate to the costs of electric facilities such a
share of the cost of facilities having joint value for the
production of electric energy and other purposes as the power
development may fairly bear as compared with such other purposes.
