DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. EF23–7–000] 

Bonneville Power Administration; 

Order Approving Rates on an Interim 

Basis and Providing Opportunity for 

Additional Comments 

Before Commissioners: Willie L. 

Phillips, Acting Chairman; James P. 

Danly, Allison Clements, and Mark C. 

Christie. 

1. In this order, we approve 

Bonneville Power Administration’s 

(Bonneville) proposed fiscal years 2024– 

2025 wholesale power and transmission 

rates on an interim basis, pending our 

further review. We also provide an 

additional period of time for the parties 

to file comments. 

I. Background 

2. On July 28, 2023, Bonneville filed 

a request for interim and final approval 

of its proposed wholesale power 1 and 

transmission rates 2 in accordance with 

the Pacific Northwest Electric Power 

Planning and Conservation Act 

(Northwest Power Act) 3 and Subpart B 

of part 300 of the Commission’s 

regulations.4 Bonneville projects that 

the filed rates will produce average 

annual power revenues of $3.144 billion 

and average annual transmission 

revenues of $1.264 billion. Bonneville 

asserts that this level of annual revenues 

is sufficient to recover its costs for the 

fiscal years 2024–2025 rate approval 

period, while providing cash flow to 

assure at least a 95% probability of 

making all payments to the United 

States Treasury in full and on time for 

each year of the fiscal years 2024–2025 

rate approval period. 

II. Notice of Filing 

3. Notice of Bonneville’s application 

was published in the Federal Register, 

88 FR 53,480 (Aug. 8, 2023), with 

interventions and protests due on or 

before August 28, 2023. Timely motions 

to intervene were filed by Public Power 

Council, M–S–R Public Power Agency, 

and Powerex Corp. The Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation 

and the Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation (together, 

Treaty Tribes), along with the Columbia 

River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission 

(collectively, Tribal Parties) filed a 

motion to intervene. On September 5, 

2023, Bonneville filed a request for 

leave to answer and an answer to the 

Tribal Parties’ motion to intervene. 

4. The Tribal Parties assert that 

Bonneville’s rates during the 2024–2025 

rate period are insufficient to assure 

repayment of the federal investment in 

the Federal Columbia River Power 

System, and are not based on 

Bonneville’s total system costs.5 The 

Tribal Parties contend that the 

Bonneville Administrator failed to take 

into account Bonneville’s obligations 

under the Treaty Tribes’ respective 

treaties as directly applicable to 

Bonneville and as incorporated through 

the Northwest Power Act.6 The Tribal 

Parties further assert that, under the 

Northwest Power Act, the proposed 

fiscal years 2024–2025 rates fail to 

afford equal treatment between fish and 

wildlife and power interests, and are not 

consistent with the Northwest Power 

and Conservation Council (NPCC) Fish 

and Wildlife Program.7

5. In Bonneville’s answer, Bonneville 

states that the Commission should 

approve Bonneville’s proposed rates as 

requested.8 Bonneville asserts that the 

Tribal Parties’ arguments fall outside the 

Commission’s limited jurisdiction over 

Bonneville’s power and transmission 

rates established by section 7(a)(2) of the 

Northwest Power Act.9 Bonneville 

argues that the Commission has 

previously concluded that the 

Commission does not second guess 

Bonneville’s decisions on fish and 

wildlife issues, and that the 

Commission’s review is not the proper 

forum to challenge Bonneville’s cost 

projections.10

6. Bonneville contends that the 

Commission previously considered the 

issue of whether Bonneville’s rates 

failed to afford ‘‘equitable treatment’’ to 

fish and wildlife under section 

4(h)(11)(A) of the Northwest Power Act. 

Bonneville argues that the Commission 

correctly concluded that ‘‘Bonneville’s 

compliance with its environmental 

review and fish and wildlife protection 

obligation . . . is outside the scope of 

the Commission’s review under section 

7(a)(2).’’ 11

7. In response to the Tribal Parties’ 

claim that Bonneville’s rates are not
