Members retain their BPA Power and Transmission contracts
States Ultimate Flexibility & Local Control
- Members make their own purchase decisions while still benefitting from economies of scale
- No member takes on the risk of another members’ purchase decisions
Member-Held Contracts Equal Optionality
- Members don’t have to fit into a “one size fits all” when it comes to their BPA contracts
- This will be especially critical for future Regional Dialogues and Post 2028 contract decision points, where BPA customers can choose between different Tier Two Rate options and contract types
