Both members have long-term <br /> Requirements contracts for these energy allocations. However, WAPA could <br /> reduce the amount of energy and power available to its customers in <br /> the future. This would represent a policy change from the past. If <br /> WAPA decreases the energy available to its customers, MMPA's <br /> energy requirements would increase, because the Agency provides <br /> all of the energy to these two members that is not supplied by <br /> WAPA. This IRP assumes that WAPA allocations remain at the <br /> current contract amounts throughout the projection period. <br /> More Electric Use for In previous IRPs, we discussed electricity used as a fuel for <br /> Transportation transportation.
