APS proposes Pacific Northwest Arizona power exchange plan
APS says it will pursue a 1000 kilowatt direct current transmission link to bring hydroelectric power from the Pacific Northwest to Arizona and return winter power to the Northwest. The plan aims to reduce peaking costs with 200 megawatts starting in 1984 and 500 megawatts later, addressing summer demand and winter hydro shortages. The Bureau of Reclamation and Salt River Project are evaluating similar ideas.
