B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 5 Introduction to BPA  1937 Bonneville Project Act Created BPA to market power at cost-based rates with public preference and build transmission system to deliver power.  1961 Columbia River Treaty Enabled 20 million acre-feet of increased water storage via three new Canadian dams and Libby Dam in Montana.  1964 Pacific Northwest Preference Act Established regional preference while authorizing construction of California intertie and surplus power sales outside the Northwest.  1974 Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act Placed BPA on self-financing basis (rates must recover costs) and provided limited borrowing authority from the U.S. Treasury.  1977 Department of Energy Organization Act Transferred BPA to the DOE as “separate and distinct” agency. Key Statutory Provisions

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 6 Introduction to BPA  1980 Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act Assure the Pacific Northwest of adequate, efficient, economical and reliable power supply BPA obligation to serve net load requirements of NW utilities, has authority to purchase generating output from electric generation projects. BPA to purchase conservation and renewables where cost effective BPA to provide benefits to residential and small farm customers of investor-owned utilities (residential exchange). BPA to protect, mitigate and enhance fish and wildlife affected by federal hydropower construction and operation. NW Power and Conservation Council to guide power and fish planning for the region. Key Statutory Provisions

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 7 Introduction to BPA  1992 Energy Policy Act Guaranteed open transmission access for wholesale transactions to spur development of wholesale energy market. Authorized FERC to order BPA to provide open, non-discriminatory access to transmission while ensuring BPA’s organic statutes continue in full force and effect.  1996 Omnibus Consolidated Recisions and Appropriations Act Raised interest rate and adjusted principal on BPA’s appropriated debt (for construction of federal power system).  2003 Omnibus Appropriations Bill Increased BPA’s borrowing authority by $700 million to a total of $4.45 billion.  2005 National Energy Policy Act Increased FERC jurisdiction over BPA (and publicly owned utilities) for transmission and power market sales. Established national Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to establish and enforce mandatory reliability standards on all users, owners and operators of the bulk power system.  2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Granted an additional increment of $3.25 billion in Treasury Borrowing Authority through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, bringing the total amount of bonds that may be outstanding at any one time to $7.7 billion. Key Statutory Provisions

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N 8 BPA Business Model  BPA is one agency with respect to repaying Treasury debt.  BPA operates separate businesses for setting rates for power and transmission services.  Overlapping, but different customers for power and transmission services.  Consumer-owned utilities have preference rights to Federal power.  BPA operates as an open-access, non-discriminatory transmission carrier.  Important to note that a substantial amount of the wind generation connecting to BPA’s system for transmission service is not sold to BPA or its power services customers. One Agency But Two Businesses
