Bonneville Power Administration and Rural Electrification Administration actions and activities affecting utility participation in Washington Public Power Supply System Plants 4 and 5
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6602290
Congressman George Hansen asked GAO to examine the roles of the Bonneville Power Administration and the Rural Electrification Administration in development and termination of Washington Public Power Supply System Plants 4 and 5. The GAO found that BPA provided electric demand forecasting help to small regional utilities, endorsed the need for additional generating units, supported utility participation in the plants, and acted to indirectly facilitate termination of the plants; and that REA directed its borrowers to pay their debts to the Washington Public Power Supply System and implied their financial standing with REA could be affected if their obligations on plants 4 and 5 are not met.
