Background/Overview
The Quarterly Business Review (QBR) is an ongoing forum that started in November of 2008, and continues quarterly. The meetings/workshops focus on BPA's finances with a review of current fiscal year actual financial results compared to financial forecasts such as start-of-year target, as well as other current agency topics. BPA will also report on how actual spending compares to rate case assumptions.
Beginning in 2011 and continuing into 2012, the QBR is being expanded to provide updates on proposed capital projects in order to provide more visibility on capital budgets and opportunity for stakeholder input. The QBR meeting times are being extended and the agendas will be made available earlier in order to better inform potential participants.
Standard financial reports will be provided for this discussion, and will be available to participants prior to the meetings. To the extent practicable, this forum will also be used to make customers aware of emerging circumstances that could affect rates. In the past, meetings have included discussions about the Operational Excellence initiatives, updates on capital projects, and current hydro conditions. These discussions also will be used to focus on long-term cost trends, improvements due to Operational Excellence, and implications for both expense and capital programs. QBR participants will be encouraged to participate in other relevant processes on emerging issues as they develop and in which BPA is taking comment. However, if there is no other public form in process, then BPA will engage with QBR participants for follow-up discussion, if any is warranted.
