Power purchase contracts with a diversified group of regional utilities provide for almost all energy and demand at an average purchased power cost in l995 of 3.2 cents which is below the regional average power rate.
The majority of CPP power purchase contracts expire in five years with CPP having the opportunity to negotiate for lower cost options as easier access to the broader wholesale transmission network is made available through implementation of the National Energy Policy Act and CPP's continued improvement in interconnection reliability.
CPP power costs in l995 were below the regional median but higher than several other major investor-owned utilities which serve customers in the ECAR area which could be a risk factor in a retail wheeling environment that allows Cleveland customers to access a a broader power purchase retail marketplace.

Old factory eyed for CPP center

On Monday night, council is expected to approve the lease of 97,000 square feet in the former Eaton Axle factory on East 140th Street from the City Rose Development Corporation for a Cleveland Public Power service center on the East Side.
