TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 12C--FORT PECK PROJECT
Sec. 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.
