Summary:   One of the terms in the proposed IOU/Public Settlement was a requirement that BPA establish a collaborative process to identify up to $100 million in additional cost reductions and revenue enhancements for fiscal years 2004 and 2005. BPA convened the Power Net Revenue Improvement Sounding Board in November 2003 to guide this effort. After 10 meetings with this group, the Sounding Board process has successfully ended and BPA has identified $111 million in cost reductions and revenue enhancements for FY 2004-2005.
