BPA's Initial Proposal
(updated March 21, 2006)
On November 8, 2005, BPA published a Federal Register Notice summarizing BPA's Initial Proposal for the WP-07 rate case: public hearings, and opportunity for public review and comment. BPA provided its entire set of Initial Proposal documents to rate case parties at a prehearing conference on November 21, 2005, and held six (6) regional field hearings between November 29 and December 7, 2005. For more information, see the November 8, 2005 letter (PDF, 2 pages, 146 kb). The public comment period for BPA's Initial Proposal closed on February 13, 2006. However, on February 13, 2006, BPA issued a Supplemental Proposal on Reactive Power as a modification to the Initial Proposal. The public comment period for BPA's Supplemental Proposal on Reactive Power closed on March 6, 2006.
All documentation associated with BPA's Initial Proposal (including studies, testimony, witness qualifications, and errata) can be accessed through this page. For access to other WP-07 Rate Case information, see the WP-07 Rate Case home page.
