16 U.S.C. § 832 — Completion and maintenance of project; generation of electricity

For the purpose of improving navigation on the Columbia River, and for other purposes incidental thereto, the dam, locks, power plant, and appurtenant works under construction on August 20, 1937, at Bonneville, Oregon and North Bonneville, Washington (called Bonneville project in this chapter), shall be completed, maintained, and operated under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, subject to the provisions of this chapter relating to the powers and duties of the Bonneville power administrator provided for in [section 832a(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section832a/a&num=0&edition=prelim) (called the administrator in this chapter) respecting the transmission and sale of electric energy generated at said project. The Secretary of the Army shall provide, construct, operate, maintain, and improve at Bonneville project such machinery, equipment, and facilities for the generation of electric energy as the administrator may deem necessary to develop such electric energy as rapidly as markets may be found therefor. The electric energy thus generated and not required for the operation of the dam and locks at such project and the navigation facilities employed in connection therewith shall be delivered to the administrator, for disposition as provided in this chapter.

16 U.S.C. § 832f — Elements in determining rates

It is the intent of Congress that rate schedules for the sale of electric energy which is or may be generated at the Bonneville project in excess of the amount required for operating the dam, locks, and appurtenant works at said project shall be determined with due regard to and predicated upon the fact that such electric energy is developed from water power created as an incident to the construction of the dam in the Columbia River at the Bonneville project for the purposes set forth in [section 832 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section832&num=0&edition=prelim). Rate schedules shall be drawn having regard to the recovery (upon the basis of the application of such rate schedules to the capacity of the electric facilities of Bonneville project) of the cost of producing and transmitting such electric energy, including the amortization of the capital investment over a reasonable period of years. Rate schedules shall be based upon an allocation of costs made by the Secretary of Energy. In computing the cost of electric energy developed from water power created as an incident to and a byproduct of the construction of the Bonneville project, the Secretary of Energy may allocate to the costs of electric facilities such a share of the cost of facilities having joint value for the production of electric energy and other purposes as the power development may fairly bear as compared with such other purposes.

Such rates shall be established in accordance with sections 9 and 10 of the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act ([16 U.S.C. 838](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section838&num=0&edition=prelim)) [[16 U.S.C. 838g](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section838g&num=0&edition=prelim) and 838h], section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 [[16 U.S.C. 825s](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section825s&num=0&edition=prelim)], and the provisions of this chapter. (2) Rates established under this section shall become effective only, except in the case of interim rules as provided in subsection (i)(6), upon confirmation and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission upon a finding by the Commission, that such rates— (A) are sufficient to assure repayment of the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System over
