Abstract
In December, 1983, Blue Valley Ranch Hydro Power project began generating power in Colorado. A small project of 130 kW, the plant utilizes an existing irrigation system to divert water from the Blue River through two 65-kW turbines with a head of 11 feet, and is expected to be on line 90-100% of the year generating 1,080,000 kWh. The Blue Valley project represents an equitable, long-term agreement by a major utility to purchase power from an independent developer in a state where power is in surplus. The negotiations and the contract are examined in detail.
