The Bonneville Power Administration (BNL) is Energy Resources Performance Report highlights major activities and accomplishments during fiscal years 1989 and 1990. It is designed to help our customers monitor their investment in a reliable, cost-effective power supply. The Energy Resources Program mission is to--plan for meeting BPA's future power requirements and design and manage programs that carry out the plans. The first step is to forecast the energy needs of 173 wholesale customers--electric utilities and direct-service industries in the Pacific Northwest. These are spread over a 300,000-square-mile service area, covering the States and parts of five others. Bonneville then has to meet customer needs by delivering reliable, environmentally sound, least-cost energy resources. The agency supplies about one-half the electricity consumed in the region. With their Energy Resources programs Bonneville has completed almost a decade of least-cost planning as mandated by the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act. Federal Columbia River Power System is confronting a slight deficit unless it acquires new energy resources. We have purchased a total of almost 350 average megawatts of conservation, about 100 aMW in the past two years. Though the major part of this 100 aMW is from conservation and modernization at the region's aluminum smelters, energy savings were obtained in all other sectors. Bonneville spent close to {number sign}150 million in the past years on conservation.
