Technology Innovation
BPA created the Technology Innovation office in July 2005 to focus and manage
its technology initiatives, as well as to help guide the development of a robust
research and development portfolio, drawing from staff that are already engaged
in BPA's dispersed research and development work.
"We believe we should be more proactive in guiding and supporting the research
and development that has the potential to take electric service to new levels in
the Pacific Northwest. Further, we should be adapting the successfully researched
and developed technologies into demonstration programs and commercial deployments
here in the region. If we aren't doing this, then we aren't creating the value
that BPA uniquely can deliver for the people of the Pacific Northwest…My hope and
expectation is that we will not only regain our historical leadership in the
industry in this area, but we will take it to a higher level and a broader impact."
