NCPA
Harry Allen is a 2000 WM coal-fired generating plant
_.
estimated to cost $3.8 billion in 1985 dollars. The
project will be composed of our 500 MW units, the first
unit presently planned to begin commercial operation in
1986. Published estimate of cost is 85.5 mills/KWH
in 1990 dollars. While this price appears very reasonable
for 1990, Utility Director Curry has analyzed the report
and believes this cost will be exceeded considerably.
According to the studies by R. W. Beck, Lodi would be
capable of using 5.1 MW of base load power out of this
project; however, these studies were based on load growth
estimates provided by Lodi prior to the Green Belt Initiative,
and prior to the announcement of the 12 MW allocation of
CVP power by W.A.P.A. The participation of Lodi in the
current phase of studies on the basis of 5.1 MW will be
$13,130.00; however the Commission's action was to levy
