Fiscal Year (FY) 2029 Public Rate Design Methodology; Public Hearing and Opportunities for Public Review and Comment

BPA is proposing to adopt a new tiered rate design for setting its Priority Firm Power (PFp) rates for the period beginning October 1, 2028. The primary feature of the Public Rate Design Methodology (PRDM) is the establishment of two tiers of rates: one rate tier (Tier 1) will be based on generation output and costs attributed to BPA's current system resources and a second rate tier (Tier 2) will be based on the generation and costs associated with newly acquired resources.
