Utilities plan relied on government construction delays tax savings
REA official Charles Ham rejects a private utility driven plan for the Colorado River Storage Project arguing that, even with private sector transmission work, the federal government must fund 57.77 million dollars in initial construction and the Bureau of Reclamation would pay private utilities 797.527 million dollars over a century, producing no taxpayers’ savings. Ham, head of Wheatland Pacific Power District, warns the proposal would not cut costs.
