  At the 3/13 RSS workshop, customers requested that BPA share the spreadsheet that staff has been using for illustrative purposes to price the DFS and RSC for a particular resource or resource portfolio. Information determined through this model should only be viewed as illustrative as market prices forecasts and values are subject to change and, when applicable to rates, will be determined in each 7(i) rate proceeding. In addition, BPA has not yet officially adopted in a 7(i) rate proceeding all aspects of the specific rate design reflected in this model.

  Avista Deemer Settlement
• Letter from Mark Gendron
  When BPA released information about its proposed settlement with Avista, the agency stated the deemer balance was adjusted using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as the inflation index. BPA staff actually used a different inflation index--the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) price deflator--for this purpose. BPA staff will explain and discuss this difference with interested parties at the Feb. 11 public meeting, 1 to 4 p.m., in the Rates Hearing Room.
