Western sells power generated at seven dams on the Missouri River, which we market as the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin—Eastern Division Project. These include Canyon Ferry, Fort Peck, Garrison, Big Bend, Fort Randall, Gavins Point and Oahe dams. Generation from these dams in FY 2005 was 6,024 GWh, compared to 7,379 GWh in FY 2004.
