Nevada's Boulder Dam power stance outlined in Washington

Nevada officials present a plan for Boulder Dam power to be sold at cost to consumers, with Nevada allowed to withdraw up to one third of generated power on notice.

Boulder Dam Fund and rate amendment details

Document No. 186 outlines the amendment theory to keep rates high as conditions allow, ensuring the Government receives money early while providing excess profits for Arizona and Nevada. It states the Government sells power based on value in competitive centers and that 62 percent of any excess above repayment of the 25 million flood control loan goes into a Boulder Dam Fund for use within the Colorado River Basin as directed by Congress.
