BPA Financial Information and Rates


The Bonneville Power Administration is a self-financed federal agency under the Department of Energy. It is not funded by taxpayers and receives no annual appropriations from Congress.

BPA funds all ongoing operations and repays the Federal investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System through the sale of wholesale electricity and transmission services. The federal system provides about one-third of the Pacific Northwest's electric energy and three-fourths of its high voltage transmission.

BPA is a not-for-profit agency. It is legally mandated to recover all of its costs in the rates it charges customers for wholesale electricity and transmission services. The agency is committed to careful cost management consistent with its legal obligations, sound business practice and environmental stewardship.

Each year BPA pays back to the U.S. Treasury a portion of the taxpayers' investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System, which includes the federal hydropower dams and transmission system.

The Bonneville Power Administration paid the U.S. Treasury $1.045 billion for fiscal year 2007, which ended Sept. 30. This is a full annual payment, with interest, on the U.S. taxpayer investment in the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS), which includes the federal hydropower dams and transmission system.

The Treasury payment included $618.4 million in principal and $394.6 million in interest. BPA also paid $32.4 million in other obligations, including $21.1 million to assure that ratepayers, not taxpayers, fully fund post-retirement benefit programs for FCRPS employees.


BPA financial reports are grouped by the categories on the left. Each category contains a brief description of the report, frequency and point of contact. Most reports are in pdf file format and require the free acrobat reader.
