The 1989 Pacific Northwest Loads and Resources Study establishes the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) planning bases for providing an adequate, cost effective, and environmentally sound supply of electricity to BPA customers. BPA's long-range planning incorporates generating resource availability with a range of forecasted electrical consumption. The future electrical demands--firm loads--are subtracted from available resources to determine whether BPA and the region will be surplus or deficit. If resources are greater than loads in any particular year or month, there is a surplus of energy and/or capacity. Conversely, if firm loads exceed available resources, there is a deficit of energy and/or capacity and additional conservation, contract purchases, or generating resources will be needed to meet load growth. This document provides the utility-specific information and technical details that BPA uses to determine the amount of firm surplus energy and capacity that could become available in the Pacific Northwest. This document should be used in conjunction with the 1989 Pacific Northwest Loads and Resources Study, published in November 1989.
