The next Quarterly Business Review will take place via webinar on May 1 at 9 a.m. This quarter Administrator Elliot Mainzer will provide an update on BPA’s grid modernization efforts. Mainzer will also deliver a roundup of updates regarding the Environment, Fish and Wildlife program, including the spill surcharge.

Acting Chief Financial Officer Mary Hawken’s update focuses on agency financials as well as a second quarter budget exercise and the results of a deprecation study. Joel Cook, senior vice president of Power Services, and Richard Shaheen, senior vice president of Transmission Services, will provide updates on each business line’s financial and operational performance.
