We are working with other Public Power utilities and BPA to implement a strategic 3-year rate plan. Our goal is to offset the impact on customers by encouraging BPA to gradually increase spending over time, rather than implementing a sudden, large increase.
Our proposed solution is a phased approach, where BPA incrementally raises spending in smaller, annual adjustments over 3 years. This measured and deliberate strategy allows BPA to reach necessary spending levels while minimizing the immediate impact on our customers’ rates.
