Post-2028 REP

Background

Bonneville implements the REP under provisions of the 2012 REP Settlement (REP-12) until contracts expire in 2028, at which point new agreements will dictate its execution. Historically, BPA’s implementation of the REP has been contentious until REP-12 settled long-standing litigation providing the region relative stability in the program. As we look ahead to post-2028 structuring new REP agreements will require regional collaboration with the goal of implementing the program in a sustainable manner compliant with the 1980 Northwest Power Act. In November and December of 2021, Bonneville provided REP background workshops to public utilities and investor owned utilities, respectively, and will kick-off initial regional engagement workshops Fall of 2022 which will continue through late-spring 2023.
