2025 Power Marketing Initiative

The Loveland Area Projects (LAP) Firm Electric Service (FES) contracts expire September 30, 2024.  Western Area Power Administration’s (Western) Rocky Mountain Region (RMR) is responsible for developing and administering the LAP FES contracts and is in the process of developing a plan for marketing and allocating LAP hydroelectric power after the FES contracts expire.  We call this plan our 2025 Power Marketing Initiative (2025 PMI), which will be effective October 1, 2024 (Federal fiscal year 2025).
