Bonneville Power Administration

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a federal agency in the United States that supplies electrical power and transmission services. Established in 1937, it primarily markets electricity generated from hydroelectric dams in the Columbia River Basin. BPA plays a vital role in the Pacific Northwest’s energy system, ensuring reliable power while promoting renewable energy and environmental stewardship. It helps manage and enhance the region's electrical grid, supports energy efficiency, and provides funding for projects that protect fish habitats and ecosystems affected by dam operations. Overall, BPA contributes to the region's sustainable energy future.
