BonneviUe trammels over thc Federal Cola-bia River Power System thc major ptutlon of thc po<<ur from I 1 nonfederal projects to various private and pubUc uuTiries in the Pa&c Northwest. This s><<tern represents approx!mately 8098 of the bulL power ~'~ioneaparity for the P~c North<<ust.
Thc Federal Columbh River Power S)vtem has interconnections <<4th other regions in the United States and Canada.
Three high vo!tagc transmission line hterconnections (two 500 LV ac, onc SOO kVde) of thc PasrSe Nor;h<<vst-Pacigc Southwest Intertie have been completed and am now in operation.

By this method of using revenues and revenue bond Snsnchg Bonnevigc expects to avoid the nmxf ot additional'epp~riations of Congcu to ca~ out its program obUgatiom The Transmission Act re&crees Btxmcv!Ue's criynsl nussion and authorizes Bonnm(Ue to con-struct addiYitxs to thc trsnsmisrion s)stem <<ithia the P cific Northwest to intefyztc ad transmit the e!ecsic po<<vr from existing or additional Federal or non-Federal gcnerathg units, provide serv(ee to Bonncv!Uc's customers, provide interregional farilities, and mahtsin the electrical stsbU! ty and elcctrical re!iabTIty of thc FcderJ s)stem.

In 1964, Bonnet(Ue, acting joht!y <<ith the U. S.

Sv h contracts gener Jly provide for the saic ""d delivery of 5rm power to a preference customer in the amount of its requirements for power over and above the generating rcsourecs, if any, that the prcfcreneo cus:omar has available to serve its own loads.

These pouur sales contracts <<!th prefere~ customers are usuaUy for - term of 20 years.
Bo" c-viUc expects to negoUicdc ncw 20 year power sales contra-ts vdth aU prefcren-e customers to supply their Iced grouth requirements imtil 1983 and fixed amounts thereafter. Thc PubLc Pouur Gxm ilM
~ Bonneville are eturcnt!y studying thc aUocation of pouur to these customers after Ju!y I, 1983.
The power sales eontrwts contain proviions for a rate review once each 5vc years.
Rates are proposed by Bo~tiUe and become effective upon con5rmaUon and approval by th Fedora! Power ComnMion ("FPC"). In 1974 BonneviUe submitted proposed rate increases to the FPC avcrayng approximately 27~o which were confirmed and approved by the FPC cfective Dceember 20, 1974 for an interim period dnding no later ihan December 20, 197S. Thc eon5rmation and approvJ of such rates for thc full5vc )var period ending December 20, 1979, is now pending before thc FPC, amf BonncriUc cxpccts that thc FPC will approve such rates for such period in thc near future.
'IHE HYDRO TTIER)LLLPOI)ER PROGRAM AND POWER SUPPLY Df THE PACIFIC NORTHlVEST Thc H)~ Thermal Power Program was conceived by thc Joint Power Pl~8 Coon.3, consfsdng of 110 e!eetric cooperatives, pubUc utiTities and private ui'indies in the Paei5c Northwest and BonnctiUe, in order to plan thc eoonUnatfon of existing and future thermal ard hydroelectric resources in thc Paci5 Northuust. 'Ihc major part of thc power supply in the rey'on has been historieaUy from hyd:oclearic resources, but the remairdng hydro projects to bc developed wUl be essentiaUy for pecking power rather than for b4c load. Thamal power will provide an increasing porUon of thc base load resourem in thc frture. The corn%nation of h) dro peaking and large sca!c thermal gencmting phmts uw found by thc Council to bc thc soundcst plan to aehicvc Lc ahns of the H)vtro Thermal Power preyed fhc ptin-ciples of Phase I of this Program and thc Fed~ government's pardeipaUon through Bon"cviUe, thc Army Corps of Engineers and thc Bureau of Ree!amaUon have bccn cndorsaf by eurirt mid previous federal ~Uons andby the Conyess.

Thc cast recent forecast (February I, 1975) was made by thc Commiucc for thc )Tars 1975-1976 through 1985-1986 (West Group Forecast).
Unlike previous forecasts which were prcparcd using phnt siansors'onstruction schedules, this most recent farcist was prepared using thc -SSUcstone" cone pt for deier-miniag the d tes on which new thermal generating plants could reasonably be exacted to b ht continuous operation. Thc -SIUestonc" concept establishes standard dcveiopmcnt schcduics for each t)pc o! thermal plant aad identifies, as mUcstoncs, certain major cvunts h the development and constructioa of the plants.
Thcsc standard "SIHestonc" phnt dcvclopmcnt schedules arc applied to cch propos:d tbruma) plant for pmpom of providing a corn!steat basis for plann'ng the addiYioa of therraal msou ces.
Each plant sponsor vdH continue to maintain his own construction schedule, which may not be thc same as the SIUcstone schedule used for area rcsou:cc planning.
