I4: Asset Management

Integrated asset management practices maximize the long-term value of FCRPS assets.

Other Information:

Our goal is to maximize the long-term value of FCRPS assets for the benefit of the region. To do this, BPA will integrate and optimize its total approach to planning and implementing capital investments and to operating and maintaining FCRPS assets. This includes managing the performance, costs and risks of FCRPS assets so that the agency’s strategic objectives are achieved at lowest long-term cost to the region. BPA will target improvements to its asset management practices to achieve industry “best practices.” Capital investments will be made with a full understanding of their long-term impact on the region and on the agency’s longterm operational costs, benefits and risks. The agency’s operation and maintenance programs will be implemented based on full information on the condition, performance and cost history of the assets.
