2007 Supplemental Wholesale Power Rate Case Background On May 3, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued opinions in two separate lawsuits. One case dealt with the way BPA allocated the costs of its 2000 Residential Exchange Program (REP) Settlement Agreements with the region's Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) in rates. Because of this ruling, BPA requested a stay in the final approval of its FY 2007-2009 power rates. BPA plans to publish a new rate proposal through a WP-07 Supplemental Power Rate Case. The outcome of this rate case will affect FY 2009 rates only, but will also review the REP settlement benefits paid to IOUs and the REP benefits the IOUs would have received in the absence of the REP settlements from FY 2002-2008.
