Power Funds Approved for Kerr Dam Transmission Contracts
The House Appropriations Committee approved 235000 to fund contracts for delivering Kerr Dam power on the Roanoke River. The funds support two transmission deals with VEPCO and CP&L to move power to municipalities and cooperatives, addressing a 235000 shortfall in a six month period. Charlies W. Leavy said 14 preferred customers have power sales contracts and the CP&L agreement ends a stalemate for North Carolina cooperatives lacking dam access. Some funds will buy firming power, and the measure aims to cover worst water conditions.
