§17901. Definitions
In this chapter, the following definitions apply:

| Revised Section | Source (U.S. Code) | Source (Statutes at Large) |
|---|---|---|
| 17901 | 40:795. |
In clause (1), the definition of "agency" as referring to the head of any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government is rewritten as a definition of "federal agency" to avoid confusion between the role of the "agency" and the "head of the agency". Throughout the chapter, the words "head of the federal agency" are used when the source provision is referring to action taken by an official as opposed to the concept of the agency as an institution.
In clause (3), the text of 40:795(1) and (4) is combined to eliminate a definition (40:795(1)) that is used only once.
§17902. Sale of electric energy
(a)
(1) the electric energy to be sold is generated by an existing coal-fired generating facility;
(2) the electric energy to be sold is surplus to the federal agency's needs and is in excess of the electric energy specifically generated for consumption by, or necessary to serve the requirements of, another federal agency;
(3) the cost to the ultimate consumers of the electric energy to be sold is less than the cost that, in the absence of the sale, would be incurred by those consumers for the purchase of an equivalent amount of energy; and
(4) the sale will reduce the total consumption of oil or natural gas by the non-federal person purchasing the electric energy below the level of consumption that would occur in the absence of the sale.
(b)
(1) the costs of producing the electric energy by coal generation; and
(2) the costs of producing electric energy by the oil or gas generation being displaced.

In subsection (a), the words "to be sold" are added for clarity. In clause (4), the words "below the level of consumption that" are substituted for "below that consumption which" for clarity.
In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words "fuel and variable operation and maintenance costs of the facility generating the energy that are attributable to that sale" are substituted for "fuel costs and variable operation and maintenance costs of the Federal generating facility concerned which costs are attributable to such sale" for clarity.
§17903. Purchase of electric power
For purposes of economy, efficiency, and conserving oil and natural gas, the head of a federal agency, when practicable and consistent with other laws and requirements applicable to that agency, shall endeavor to purchase electric energy from a non-federal person for consumption in Alaska by a facility of that agency when (taking into account the remaining useful life of any facility available to that agency to generate electric energy for that agency and the cost of maintaining the facility on a standby basis) the purchase will result in—
(1) a savings to other consumers of electric energy sold by that non-federal person without increasing the cost incurred by any federal agency for electric energy; or
(2) a cost savings to the federal agency purchasing the electric energy without increasing costs to other consumers of electric energy.
