B.P.O.E. 358 Heppner. Oregon YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY ABOUT POWER RATES! The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) plans to raise its wholesale power rates effective December 20, 1979 the first in crease in 5 years. By law, BPA's rates must produce enough revenue to meet its costs. Considering how inflation and other factors have driven up costs, it now looks as if we must have new wholesale rates that will increase our revenues by an estimated 80 to 90 percent. BPA Wholesale Rates and You BPA does not sell power directly to the ultimate user except for large industrial customers and a few Federal agencies. Rather, it sells power at wholesale to utilities which, in turn, sell to home owners and other end users. The BPA wholesale rate increase will not necessarily increase the rate you pay to your utility by the same percentage, because BPA power costs are only part of a utility's total costs. Still, the BPA wholesale rate increase will affect everybody's power bill. Besides setting new wholesale rates that will produce enough revenues for BPA to cover all its costs, we will be considering various rate design concepts. And in setting our new rates, we will be taking into consideration conservation, environmental protection, con sumer understanding and acceptance, ease of administration, and stability and continuity. We Want to Hear From You If you have ideas concerning future BPA wholesale power rates, we would like to hear from you in writing by March 1. Sometime within the next several months we will announce the times and places for a series of public information meetings and comment forums. Later we will also be asking for your ideas on a formula for allocating electric energy available to BPA. Send your written recommendations on rates to Public Involve ment Coordinator, Bonneville Power Administration, EO. Box 12999, Portland, Oregon 97212.
