On December 21, 1998, the Bonneville Power Administration unveiled its "Power Subscription Strategy" for selling wholesale electricity in the 21st century (see BPA News Release entitled "Low-cost electricity goes to market "). The Strategy was summarized in BPA's Keeping Current publication entitled "Selling BPA Power in the 21st Century, Power Subscription Strategy" (PDF, 8 pages, 429 kb, dated December 1998). Electronic versions of the Strategy and other related documents are available below:

  December 21, 1998, DOE/BP-3125
  (PDF, 32 pages, 115 kb, updated June 15, 2004, reposted here June 25, 2004)
  Note: In addition to the original Power Subscription Strategy Administrator's Record of Decision (ROD) and NEPA ROD issued on December 21, 1998 (see below), BPA later issued the following RODs which further refined/clarified/modified BPA's Power Subscription Strategy:

  • May 25, 2004 "IOU" ROD (PDF, 31 pages, 153 kb)
  To call attention to these subsequent RODs, a one-page note (PDF, 15 kb) was added to the above Power Subscription Strategy document on June 15, 2004 (page i). If you still have a printed copy of the original Strategy document, please print this page and attach it to the original document. Except for the addition of this new page (and new page numbering), no other changes have been made to the Strategy document since it was originally posted here in December 1998.
