31, 2024. The 2005 Resource Pool is available for new power allocations
to qualified entities. Preference entities who wish to apply for a new
allocation of power from Western's Sierra Nevada Region must submit
formal applications conforming to the procedures in the Dates Section
above. Eligibility and allocation criteria are defined in the Marketing

applying for power from the Sierra Nevada Region are also provided in
the Call for 2005 Resource Pool Applications.
Existing customers' conditional resource extension percentages are
listed in the Marketing Plan. Existing customers do not need to submit
applications for resource extensions. However, if an existing customer
wishes to apply for a new allocation of power in addition to its
resource extension, it must meet the eligibility criteria and submit an
application.
