What is BPA?
 Not-for-profit federal electric
utility
 Owns and operates high-voltage
transmission grid of more than
15,000 miles of lines in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana
 Markets more than a third of the
electricity consumed in the
Pacific Northwest – customers
are utilities, not end-users.

What is BPA?
 BPA helps fund and manage
the largest fish and wildlife
program in the world
 Since 1980, BPA’s
conservation efforts have saved
more than 1,000 average
megawatts for the region.
That’s enough electricity to
serve a city about the size of
Seattle

Unique challenge
 We have more than 3,000
megawatts of wind power
connected to our grid today and
expect to have up to 6,000 MW by
2013.

 Looking to use smart grid
technologies to potentially manage
load (need to find more places to
put extra electricity) in addition to
shifting peak load.
