S4: Transmission Access and Rates

Open, non-discriminatory transmission services are provided at rates that are kept low through achievement of BPA’s objectives at the lowest practical cost.

Other Information:

BPA will ensure open, timely and non-discriminatory access to our transmission services. We will target future transmission costs and revenues based on meeting reliability, adequacy and cost-recovery objectives in the most efficient manner, and then will seek to manage to these levels. We are sensitive to the rate pressures of additional infrastructure investment and will manage costs to keep rate increases as low as possible, while ensuring reliable power delivery, facilitating power markets and repaying the federal taxpayers’ investment in the system.
