Power Firms offer to build Yellowtail Dam under partnership
Montana Power Co and Pacific Power & Light Co propose a joint build and operate plan for the Yellowtail Dam in Montana. Under the deal the government would construct the dam and irrigation facilities while the two utilities would finance and run the transmission to Montana and Wyoming centers. They would pay a $1,142,000 annual rent for the reservoir and falling water and provide energy free for the Hardin irrigation pumping plant in exchange for irrigation water rights. Additional energy would be sold to irrigation users at 2.5 mills per kilowatt hour. The proposal argues it would save the government about 51.5 million dollars in initial capital and about 30 million more in taxes and costs.
