The Colorado river Storage Project (CRSP) is federally owned and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. One purpose of CRSP is the production of hydroelectric capacity and energy. The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets and transmits CRSP power in 15 western and central states. Western's 638 customers include municipalities, joint action agencies (such as UAMPS), rural electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, utility and irrigation districts, and state and federal agencies. Western has 10,000 megawatts of capacity in 56 power plants. UAMPS acts as a single purchasing agent for our members and has a firm allocation of CRSP capacity and energy that is purchased through the Integrated Contract for Electric Services.
