TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 12B--BONNEVILLE PROJECT
Sec. 832f. Elements in determining rates
It is the intent of Congress that rate schedules for the sale of
electric energy which is or may be generated at the Bonneville project
in excess of the amount required for operating the dam, locks, 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
Columbia River at the Bonneville project for the purposes set forth in
section 832 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 Bonneville
project) of the cost of producing and transmitting such electric energy,
including the amortization of the capital investment over a reasonable
period of years. Rates 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 the Bonneville 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.
