MEMORANDUM
April 238 1964
Too- The Board of Directors of Truckee Public Utility District
From: Martin McDonough, Attorney
This will summarize the District's position with respect
to its_ wholesale power rate, from a legal viewpoint*
In spite of considerable study, the District has been un-
able to find means of obtaining a lower wholesale power rate than it
now pays Sierra Pacific Power Company, without formal proceedings.
The formal proceedings open to the District are two kinds.
1) An application to the Federal Power Commission or to the
California Public Utilities Commission for a reduction in
the rate which Sierra Pacific now charges the District;
(2) An application to the California Public Utilities Commission
to require wheeling by Pacific Gas and Electric Company
of Central Valley Project power to the District, or, in
-the alternative, sale of P .G . & E . power.
Savings which would be achieved by the success of the second
alternative procedure greatly exceed those which would probably be
achieved bythe first alternative, since it is believed that both the
Bureau of Reclamation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company can produce
and transmit power at a substantially lower cost than can Sierra
Pacific.
Following the second alternative will cost an estimated
$10, 000 for legal and engineering fees, as outlined to you in a
.•-• previous memorandum. It would involve controverted proceedings and
there is no way at this time of assuring a favorable result. If there
were a favorable result, the savings achieved would be greatly in
excess of the cost of the proceedings; for the fiscal 7-year ended
June 30, 1963, the District paid $115, 054.90, or an average of 13.06
mills per kwh, for its purchased power, and a reduction of from 25/ to
50•/ might be expected* The chances of A success of such a proceeding
at this time are probably greater than they have been in the past,
