A 20-year conservation program in the Pacific Northwest calls for the region's electric utilities to cooperatively develop and share the lowest-cost power resources. The plan updates and replaces a 1983 plan involving a council made up of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) must develop resources consistent with the council's power plan. New priorities include securing resources that must be developed now or be lost, greater conservation cooperation, increasing BPA's role, making better use of hydro facilities, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of renewable resources, allocating the costs of the two unfinished nuclear plants and removing barriers to their preservation and ultimate completion, and studying inter-regional power sales and purchases. The region could save $2.2 billion if it adheres to the plan.
