For 70 years, the Southwestern Power Resources Association (SPRA) and its members in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas have worked to keep Federal hydropower reliable and affordable in our area. SPRA provides a powerful voice of support for the Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) while championing the interests of SPRA’s not-for-profit members which receive Federal power. To date, through its partnership with SWPA and the Corps, SPRA and its members have provided the funding source for all major federal hydropower investment in the region with over $1.7 billion approved and a comparable commitment planned over the coming decades.
