Hoover Power Allocation Act Signed by President
KLAS, 12/20/11 - President Obama today signed into law the Hoover Power Allocation Act.
Nevada Senator Harry Reid reintroduced the legislation in March 2011. This law establishes standards for electricity from Hoover Dam through 2067.
“Hoover Dam is a critical element of Southern Nevada’s economy and I’m proud to have worked on this legislation,” Reid said.
The Hoover Power Allocation Act provides renewable energy to multiple entities throughout Nevada including the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Boulder City, Lincoln County, Overton Power District, Valley Electric, and Nevada industries at the Basic Management Industrial Complex near Henderson. The electricity generated at Hoover Dam also helps Nevada to meet peak demands at lower costs.
According to the Bureau of Reclamation, which maintains the dam, Nevada receives approximately 25 percent of the electricity generated at Hoover Dam and the 10-year average annual net generation for Hoover Dam through 2008 was about 4.2 billion kilowatt-hours.
