The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) must respond to the need for power as represented by PacifiCorp's request for a continued supply of firm capacity. BPA has surplus electrical capacity (peakload energy) that BPA projects will not be required to meet its existing obligations. Such obligations include those to meet the loads of firm power customers, pursuant to the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act), and previously committed capacity contracts. BPA is authorized under the Northwest Power Act to sell system capacity and/or energy that is surplus to its needs, with the obligation to offer any available surplus capacity/energy first to customers in the Pacific Northwest region. PacifiCorp had a contract with BPA providing for PacifiCorp's purchase of 1127.3 MW of peaking capacity ending August 31, 1991. BPA and PacifiCorp have entered into short-term surplus firm capacity sale agreements under which BPA provides capacity service to PacifiCorp. BPA and PacifiCorp (formerly doing business as Pacific Power & Light Company, a.k.a. PP & L, a Pacific Northwest private utility) have negotiated a long-term contract for peaking capacity. The proposed long-term contract is for 1100 megawatts (MW) of contract demand limited to no more than 10 megawatt hours (MWh) per day and 50 MWh per week per megawatt of contract demand. The proposed contract would expire August 31, 2011.
