United States. Bonneville Power Administration

On March 25, 1994, the BPA Administrator`s Record of Decision (ROD) on Non-Federal Participation Capacity Ownership was signed. Such ROD documented the decision to proceed with 725 MW of Capacity Ownership in the PNW-PSW AC Intertie for non-Federal parties, and specifically discussed (1) the background of the PNW-PSW AC Intertie and BPA`s access policies and proposals; (2) the general features of the Capacity Ownership proposal and its supporting NFP EIS analysis; (3) PNW-PSW AC Intertie capacity allocations between BPA and non-Federal parties; and (4) BPA`s Protected Area provisions and how they would be applied to Capacity Ownership. The Capacity Ownership decision followed extensive review and analysis by BPA, and expressions of interest by utilities and members of Congress to give full consideration to non-Federal participation in the financing and use of the Third AC Intertie expansion. As specified in Section 1.3.3.2 of the Non-Federal Participation Capacity Ownership ROD, BPA would address the final Capacity Ownership contract terms and the Northwest Power Act Section 9(c) Policy, and how it relates to BPA`s Capacity Ownership offering, in a separate ROD. Accordingly, such items are discussed herein.
