Survey and Report of Present and Future Load Requirements of Rural Electric Cooperatives; Northern Idaho Rural Electrical Rehabilitation Association, Inc. (Idaho 4 Bonner) Sandpoint, Idaho

The purpose of this report is to investigate and tabulate, insofar as possible at this time, the existing electric loads now served by the Northern Idaho Rural Electrical Association, Inc., together with the prospective electrical loads which may reasonably be expected to develop and be served by this cooperative during the next two, five and ten years. The immediate purpose of the report is to ascertain present and probable future power requirements of the cooperative and resulting load data for the consideration by the Bonneville Power Administration in its studies of the feasibility of extending transmission lines into the area to provide adequate low cost power to the present and future members of the cooperative as well as to other loads independent of this study. Other purposes of the report are (1) to provide a foundation upon which to base a long range rate structure, (2) to furnish pertinent information in connection with a future system study to be prepared by the cooperative, and (3) to serve as a guide for a utilization program.
