FY07-09 Rate Relief Option
The following comments were submitted in response to the open comment period described below.
During the recent Power Function Review (PFR) process, BPA committed to follow up with an analysis regarding the potential of extending a portion of currently outstanding debt for Energy Northwest’s (EN) Columbia Generating Station (CGS) as a way to provide some rate relief for the FY2007-2009 rate period.
The PFR Final Report stated that BPA would not include the debt extension assumption in the initial power rate proposal but that BPA and EN would jointly consider and evaluate its feasibility. BPA committed to review this alternative with customers and other interested parties before including it in the final power rate proposal if such a change is warranted.
BPA held a workshop on Nov. 28, 2005, to share the results of this analysis. Written comments are welcome through Dec. 9, 2005. The comments will be provided to BPA executives and EN Executive Board members for review.
