It is a matter of public policy that the district shall insofar as prudently possible market the power generated from hydroelectric projects constructed by reason of this chapter in such a manner as to afford all of the citizens of the State of South Dakota equal and nondiscriminatory rights to share in such power. To the extent prudently possible all of the citizens of the State of South Dakota who are customers of all electric suppliers shall be treated equally with no preferential right being given which would discriminate in the cost of such power being used by such citizens of this state. It is also a matter of public policy that to the extent reasonably prudent that power generated under the authority of this chapter shall be used within the State of South Dakota before being sold outside the State of South Dakota.
