AGENCY:

The Assistant Secretary for Electricity confirms, approves, and places into effect on a final basis the Boulder Canyon Project BCP base charge and rates for fiscal year FY
2022 under Rate Schedule BCPF10.
The base charge increased 2.9 percent from $65.4 million in FY 2021 to $67.4
million in FY 2022. The change is primarily the result of an increase in the Bureau of Reclamations Reclamation
SUMMARY:

replacement costs, an increase in the Western Area Power Administrations WAPA operations and maintenance O&M expenses and replacement costs, and a decrease in prior year carryover funds from FY 2021.
DATES: The FY 2022 base charge and rates will be effective October 1, 2021
and will remain in effect through September 30, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jack D. Murray, Acting Regional Manager, Desert Southwest Region, Western Area Power Administration, P.O. Box 6457, Phoenix, AZ 850056457, 602 605

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC confirmed and approved Rate Schedule BCPF10 under Rate Order No. WAPA178 on a final basis through September 30, 2022.1 The rate-setting methodology for BCP
calculates an annual base charge rather than a unit rate for Hoover Dam hydropower. The base charge recovers an annual revenue requirement that includes WAPA and Reclamation projected costs of investment repayment, interest, O&M, replacements, payments to states, and Hoover Dam visitor services. Non-power revenue projections such as water sales, Hoover Dam visitor center revenue, ancillary services, and late fees help offset these projected costs. Customers are billed a percentage of the base charge in proportion to their Hoover power allocation. Rates are calculated for comparative purposes but are not used to determine the charges for service.
Rate Schedule BCPF10 and the BCP
Electric Service Contract require WAPA
to determine the annual base charge and rates for the next FY before October 1
of each year. The FY 2021 BCP base charge and rates expire on September 30, 2021.
