The Resource Program will help BPA determine the amount, type and timing of new resource acquisitions. The Resource Program will be guided by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's (Council) Power Plan. BPA is working with the Council and interested parties to ensure that Resource Program results are consistent with the Council's plan, taking into account BPA’s system requirements and characteristics.

BPA released its draft Resource Program document for public comment on Sept. 30, 2009. BPA will accept comments until Nov. 30, 2009. BPA plans to hold a public workshop from 1 to 4 p.m., Oct. 14 in its Rates Hearing Room to discuss its draft Resource Program.
