Drought may have impact on Iowans’ electric bills

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

October 23rd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

Despite recent rains, reservoirs on the Missouri River are dropping as drought persists and low water levels will translate to higher electric rates for some Iowans. The Western Area Power Administration is responsible for selling power from hydroelectric dams on the river and WAPA spokesman Randy Wilkerson says they’re watching water levels carefully. “Right now, we know that water levels in the reservoirs are low and we’re anticipating less than normal generation over the winter and into the coming year,” Wilkerson says.

The agency delivers power to several rural electric co-ops and municipalities in Iowa and in 14 other states. Wilkerson says WAPA easily met its power projections during last year’s historic flooding on the Missouri. “Everybody had more than enough water and we had excess generation that we could actually sell on the open market,” he says. “This year, if we have less than normal generation, we’ll have to be out on the open market purchasing some power in order to make up our contracts.”

Wilkerson says while WAPA will meet its power contract obligations, they will likely come at an added cost. “It gets built into the rates somewhere along the line,” he says. “We do have a drought adder that periodically takes a look at the rates and identifies how much costs are due to drought or low water levels, so absolutely, yes, ultimately, it gets built into the rates.”

Last year, WAPA delivered more than 42-billion kilowatt hours of electricity to its service areas.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says no charges will be filed against a Van Buren County deputy who shot and killed a man last week. The DCI said yesterday that Deputy Jon Tharp’s actions were justified and no charges will be filed. Authorities say 59-year-old Robert Dooley of Brighton was shot on Iowa Highway 2 near Cantril on October 16th.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials say an inmate who failed to return to a work release center in Des Moines is back in custody after she voluntarily came back to the facility. The Iowa Department of Corrections says 24-year-old Tibise Joseph was placed on escape status when she didn’t return to the center as scheduled on Sunday. Authorities say she showed up later that day. She is now being held in the Polk County jail.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Mitt Romney plans to campaign Wednesday in Cedar Rapids, making it a busy day for presidential candidates in the state. The Republican nominee will speak at a rally that night at a Cedar Rapids airport hangar. President Barack Obama will speak at a rally that morning at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport. Iowa is among nine battleground states expected to decide who wins the election.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A lawyer for a conservative is asking jurors to find that she was a victim of political discrimination at the University of Iowa. Steve Fieweger told jurors yesterday that Teresa Wagner was rejected for positions because of her opposition to abortion rights. Wagner is seeking more than $400,000 in damages.
