California's Dark Days Lie Ahead

PROFILE |
 |
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) keeps power pumping in the Pacific Northwest. An agency of the US Department of Energy, BPA owns a 15,000-mile high-voltage transmission grid that provides about half of the electrical power to eight northwestern states. BPA's power is produced at 31 federally operated hydroelectric plants and one private nuclear facility. The agency sells power wholesale to 130 public utilities and to large industrial customers. BPA is also required to meet conservation responsibilities, including fish and wildlife protection, prescribed by federal law. To curb its rate increases, BPA plans to buy out power contracts from its larger customers such as aluminum smelters and irrigators.
