The power program customers are represented in the above categories; however, these customers may have more specific values than other customers, such as irrigation users. Consequently, the power marketing program has developed its own measures of customer values. As reported through personal contact, telephone calls, and meetings with customers, the value of power program services to our customers includes the powerplant reliability, rate stability, cost containment, and financial accountability. Increasing powerplant reliability, decreasing outage rates, and providing financial accountability are, therefore, also standards by which we should measure our customer service.
