Public Rate Design Methodology 2029

BPA is replacing the Tiered Rates Methodology (TRM), which expires Sept. 30, 2028, with the Public Rate Design Methodology (PRDM). The PRDM will work in parallel with the Provider of Choice contracts and BPA’s 7(i) Rate Cases and will go into effect on Oct. 1, 2028. The development of the PRDM will be a year-long process, convening in Jan. 2024, and the final product of this process will serve as BPA's Initial Proposal in the BP-26 rate proceedings.

For questions and comments, please email prdm@bpa.gov.
