🇬🇧 English

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), a Federal Power Marketing Administration under the U.S. Department of Energy, has issued its final power allocations for the 2028 resource pool under the Parker-Davis Project (P-DP). These allocations were developed in accordance with the Final 2028 P-DP Power Marketing Plan, which governs how federally generated hydroelectric power from the Parker-Davis system is distributed to eligible customers. The notice formalizes which entities will receive allocations of federal power from the resource pool beginning in 2028. The resource pool typically consists of power that becomes available due to customer contract expirations, load reductions, or other changes in existing power service agreements. Allocations from this pool are awarded through a competitive or criteria-based application process defined in the marketing plan. As part of the rulemaking process, WAPA solicited public comments on its proposed 2028 resource pool allocations. This final notice includes a summary of all comments received and WAPA's official responses, addressing concerns or objections raised by stakeholders before the allocations were finalized. The Parker-Davis Project serves customers in Arizona, California, and Nevada, and the final allocations will determine federal hydropower access for affected utilities and public agencies through at least the 2028 contract period.
