BPA markets wholesale electrical power from 31 federal hydroelectric projects in the Northwest, one nonfederal nuclear plant and several small nonfederal power plants.
This section of the site is dedicated to providing information around BPA's current, future and past power and transmission rate cases and tariff proceedings.
This page provides information dedicated to helping customers, contractors and vendors conduct business transactions with BPA, to include: buying and selling products or services, submitting invoices, forms, paying BPA, and BPA's Business Code of Conduct for Contract Personnel.
BPA works closely with numerous federal and state agencies, tribes, landowners and the public to protect and recover endangered species; protect and preserve our cultural resources; and reduce impacts to wetlands, air, water and the human environment.
BPA supports over 15,000 miles of transmission lines as well as additional fish and wildlife habitat across Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and California. This section provides commonly requested information.
BPA is dedicated to public involvement and transparency. To that end, we hold a number of events and public comment periods to update and receive input from stakeholders and the public.
BPA is self-financing, meaning it does not depend on annual appropriations from Congress to fund its operations. Rather, BPA’s operations are funded by revenues from power and transmission customers.
When you work at BPA you will be defining the future of energy by finding the lowest cost, most reliable power solutions for Northwest communities and residents.

Public Comment Period Closes for Columbian White-Tailed Deer Land Acquisitions & Translocations Project
BPA welcomes comments on the scope of the Columbian White-Tailed Deer Land Acquisitions and Translocations Project. The project is in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Army Corps of Engineers. The proposal is to implement an ongoing program of land acquisitions, habitat improvements and translocations of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) on multiple properties along the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington below Bonneville Dam. BPA is proposing to fund the Service’s efforts to supplement or replace the existing secure and viable subpopulation of CWTD at Tenasillahe Island, which is at risk of habitat loss by potential dike failures and sea-level rise. This would require translocating CWTD from Tenasillahe Island to locations in the Columbia River estuary suitable for the establishment of additional secure and viable subpopulations. To accomplish this, land acquisitions (through purchase or conservation easement), land management (to ensure long-term potential for CWTD recovery) and habitat improvements on acquired lands for the long-term recovery of CWTD are proposed.
Your comments will help BPA determine the issues that should be addressed in the environmental review.
The comment period is open from July 15 to August 15, 2022.
