DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. EF17–3–000] 

Bonneville Power Administration; 

Order Approving Rates on an Interim 

Basis and Providing Opportunity for 

Additional Comments 

Before Commissioners: Neil Chatterjee, 

Chairman; Cheryl A. LaFleur, and Robert F. 

Powelson. 

1. In this order, we approve on an 

interim basis Bonneville Power 

Administration’s (Bonneville) proposed 

2018–2019 transmission rates, with the 

exception of the rates for transmission 

service on the Southern Intertie, which 

are addressed separately in another 

order, pending our further review. We 

also provide an additional period of 

time for parties to file comments. 

I. Background 

2. On July 31, 2017,1 Bonneville filed 

a request for interim and final approval 

of its transmission rates 2 in accordance 

with section 7 of the Pacific Northwest 

Electric Power Planning and 

Conservation Act (Northwest Power 

Act) 3 and Part 300 of the Commission’s 

regulations.4 Bonneville projects that 

the filed rates will produce average 

annual transmission revenues of $1.044 

billion and annual net revenues of $4.65 

million.5 Bonneville asserts that this 

level of annual revenues is sufficient to 

recover its costs for the 2018–2019 rate 

approval period, while providing cash 

flow to ensure at least a 95 percent 

probability of making all payments to 

the United States Treasury in full and 

on time for each year of the rate period.6

II. Notice of Filing 

3. Notice of Bonneville’s July 31, 2017 

filing was published in the Federal 

Register, 82 FR 37,445 (2017),7 with 

protests and interventions due on or 

before August 30, 2017. Timely motions 

to intervene were filed by Pacific 

Northwest Generating Cooperative, 

Powerex Corporation, Turlock Irrigation 

District, Avista Corporation, Sacramento 

Municipal Utility District, Northwest 

Requirements Utilities, Industrial 

Customers of Northwest Utilities, 

NorthWestern Corporation, Western 

Public Agencies Group, M–S–R Public 

Power Agency, Snohomish County 

Public Utility District No. 1, Public 

Power Council, Puget Sound Energy 

Inc., Idaho Power Company, and 

Avangrid Renewables LLC. Renewable 

Northwest filed a timely motion to 

intervene and comments. Sierra Club 

and Montana Environmental 

Information Center (Sierra Club/MEIC) 

filed a timely motion to intervene and 

protest. On September 14, 2017, 

Bonneville filed a request for leave to 

answer and answer to Sierra Club/ 

MEIC’s protest and Renewable 

Northwest’s comments. 

4. Sierra Club/MEIC argues that 

eliminating Bonneville’s IM Rate,8 in 

particular, is necessary to meet 

Bonneville’s statutory mandate to 

encourage the widest possible 

diversified use of electric power at the 

lowest possible rates to consumers, 

consistent with sound business 

principles.9 Sierra Club/MEIC asserts 

that the IM Rate is the primary 

impediment to renewable resource 

development in Montana.10 Sierra Club/ 

MEIC explains that Bonneville 

effectively charges two rates for 

Montana producers seeking to use the 

Eastern Intertie—the IM Rate and the 

Network Rate—which inequitably 

allocates transmission costs and has 

impeded subscription of the Eastern 

Intertie.11 According to Sierra Club/
