CATALOG SALES AGENCY HEPPNER BRA AND CONSERVATION As the region's largest wholesaler of electric energy, the Bonneville Power Administration plays a major role in the region's energy pic ture. Conservation has become an important part of this picture but it must become an even larger part. What role should BPA play in conservation? The Picture Now BPA now sells firm power to 138 customers. For most of these BPA is the sole source of supply. However, current studies, based on critical water years, indicate large deficits of firm energy for BPA customers and all of our region for at least the next 10 years. This means that, if we have water conditions similar to those of 1973-74 or 1976-77, there may not be enough electricity to meet the demand. What Should BPA Do? For some years BPA has provided guidance and assistance in conser vation to Northwest utilities and consumers. This program has been beneficial but it will not assure attainment of desired energy conser vation goals. We need to do more and intend to do so. There are many options to be considered such as: grants or loans for insulation and weatherization, improved efficiencies in commercial and industrial uses and in home appliances; rate incentives and penalties; power allocations; and use of waste heat for cogenef ation. Furthermore, new generating resources are more costly than the resources which the region currently uses. BPA and many others feel that in order to assure an adequate energy supply for the region and to hold down accelerating energy costs, the region must rely increas ingly upon conservation. We Want Your Suggestions If you have ideas concerning BPA conservation policy, we would like to hear from you in writing by May 15, 1978. This summer, after assessing your recommendations and analyzing the alternatives, BPA will announce a proposed conservation policy. We will then conduct public comment forums to hear from you again. Send your written recommendations to the Public Involvement Coor dinator, Bonneville Power Administration, PO. Box 12999, Portland, Oregon 97212.
