Ottawa power outlook amid California crisis and price fears
Ottawa officials report city could provide 46 megawatts daily with current demand peaking at 32. After a near blackout two years ago due to BPA's Nearman plant fire, Ottawa secured a long term GRDA contract boosting supply. Average summer electricity cost runs about 92 dollars per resident, while California price swings and natural gas market disruptions push futures higher. CURB and ECC plan a gas tax funded pool to stabilize prices, while Western Resource's sale to Public Service of New Mexico raises concerns about debt transfer to utilities and potential rate pressures.

City taxes from gas sales bring about $70,000 yearly, but usage rather than price drives receipts. Officials warn changes won’t happen overnight and winter milder than expected has reduced tax income. Cleon Rickett can be reached at clean ottawaherald.com.
