Boulder Dam Reaches Firm Power Threshold At Lake Mead
Lake Mead now holds 13,000,000 acre feet of storage under Boulder Dam control with a 428 foot head for turbines. Power contracts begin June 1 at 1.65 mills per kilowatt hour, boosting monthly generation to about 86,000,000 kilowatt hours and government revenue to roughly $1.5 million this year. Southern California municipalities and contractors move to formalize continuous power delivery as May melts into early summer.
