Over the past seven decades, the Kinsey Irrigation Company and the Sidney Water Users Irrigation District have been treated as priority customers under their contracts with the BOR, which has allowed them to purchase power from the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA).1 They have paid $7,500 per year for electricity in recent years. The irrigation units will face higher electricity rates when their contracts expire in December 2020 because they will no longer be treated as priority customers. The two irrigation districts could purchase federal power from WAPA at a higher price if their alternative suppliers qualify as preference customers. Otherwise, those entities would need to purchase their power at market rates from nonfederal entities. 1. WAPA is an agency within the Department of Energy that markets electricity produced at federally owned dams in several western states.
