Power Business Line's Power Function Review II Final Closeout Report June 1, 2006

摘要

The last six years have presented the Pacific Northwest with major challenges in trying to recover from the West Coast energy crisis while also experiencing a series of below average water years as well as an economic recession. The good news is that if this year remains on course as forecast in the FY 2006 2nd Quarter Review, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) will have made up a majority of its previous losses as it enters the FY 2007-2009 power rate period. As the region experienced increasingly higher electricity prices BPA's challenge has been to keep its costs and rates as low as possible to help the regional economy while still meeting its mission objectives.
