Show COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT 15 energy generation were made in varying amounts in accordance with normal operating and forecast procedures. The monthly pattern of releases for energy generation followed the pattern of energy requirements estimated for 1980 in the project power market area.1 Additional releases made in anticipation of later spills were also utilized in the generation of energy.

Power Production and Marketing power market area and requirements The Federal Power Commission is currently making a power market survey for the Colorado River storage project. The market area covered by the survey is shown on the map on the following page. It is estimated that in addition to capacity and generation from existing and scheduled plans in the market area, not including scheduled plants of the Colorado River storage project, about 3,659,000 kilowatts of generating capacity and 14,313 million kilowatt-hours of generation will be needed by 1970 to meet new power requirements throughout the market area. The estimated additional requirements for 1970 and 1980 are summarized below.
