Congestion Management white paper

BPA has prepared a white paper,"Challenge for the Northwest: Protecting and managing an increasingly congested transmission system," describing how and why the NW grid has become increasingly stressed and identifies underlying causes of congestion.

BPA is interested in customer and stakeholder comments on the approaches put forward in the white paper and how they can be fleshed out? Which will be most effective? Other feasible approaches not included? What principles and criteria should be used in evaluating potential solutions? BPA also is specifically interested in views on the cost and impacts to BPA and the region, and how these impacts might be mitigated.
