EE Post-2011 Proposal
The following comments were submitted in response to the open comment period described below.
For more than a year, BPA has conducted the Energy Efficiency Post-2011 public process to develop a framework to facilitate the continued successful development and acquisition of energy efficiency in the Northwest at the lowest cost to the region.
This collaborative public process included BPA, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, utilities, individuals and numerous policy leaders. The process generated a robust dialogue about the framework's needs and constraints. through a variety of forums. BPA has encouraged the participation of all stakeholders in the region to help shape this framework.
Using information gathered in the public process, BPA has drafted a proposed framework to define the Agency's future role in meeting public power's share of the conservation targets set out in the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's latest Power Plan.
BPA seeks public comment on this proposal. You are invited to attend any of the five public meetings we will hold around the region or submit your comments on this web site.

DorseIn the May 2010 issue of the BPA Journal, Energy Efficiency Vice President, Mike Weedall is quoted as saying, Energy efficiency is the cleanest and cheapest new energy resource available in the Pacific Northwest." From my perspective it appears that the increased energy efficiency will occur downstream of the dams. This would be utilities and end users of electricity. The Journal highlights two generation programs that lessen energy efficiency. They are safer turbines for fish and spilling water. Additionally, slightly downstream of the Dalles Dam, $45 million was spent to direct salmon to deep water. The question is, which will it be, increased energy efficiency or the possible increase of the salmon population?

darlainHello, This letter is in regards to the EE Post- 2011 Proposal, and I as a citizen am appalled to say the very least. Choosing to not protect our children or our society says nothing positive about people in a position of making decisions that are life impacting. The short and sweet of this whole thing is BPA is not protecting or really interested in pro-tecting the wellness of our people, and that is sad and angers myself and many, many more people. I know that more power is needed with the pop- ulation growth, but needs to be placed where there is NOT human life. This whole situation seems to me to be about money and not people and their property. Thank you, Teresa Darlain

BroderickComments on the Bonneville Power Administration’s Energy Efficiency Post-2011 Proposal 1. It seems that energy “avoidance” (conservation) and energy “efficiency” are mixed up. There is a big difference between reducing the energy needed, and providing a more efficient energy source, from the engineering and operational perspective. Conservation deals with the energy user, efficiency deals with the energy provider. 2. In the cost of power, it is mandatory that you include all Federal and State subsidies. The reason is that we pay for those too. 3. These days, it is best not to use the word “deemed,” ever. JB

Akin/noneAs wind power booms, so do the challenges Dear BPA I just read the above article found in the Seattle Times. The solution for the challenges that come with wind power maybe overcomed with a combination of 20 MW Flywheel plants supplied by Beacon Power (located in Tyngsboro, MA)complimenting your Hydro Generation Plants. They are in the process of building a 20 MW plant in Stephentown NY that should be on line this fall. Thanks Bill Akin
