Summary
BPA POWER PRODUCTS CATALOG S E P T E MB E R 1 9 9 9 BPAPOWER PRODUCTS CATALOG BPA POWER PRODUCTS CATALOG To Our CustomersThis version of the BPA Power Products Catalog includes updated descriptions of each of the coreSubscription products and many examples of the power products offered by BPA’s Power Business Line
The Product Catalog can be used as a tool to assist you in working with your Account Executive todetermine the type of products that will best serve your power needs in the 21st century. The selection ofproducts requires in-depth knowledge of your power supply needs, product features, and applicability
Please contact your Account Executive for assistance in selecting or developing the products that willmeet your objectives
Categories of Products, Availability, and Applicable RatesThe Power products are separated into three distinct categories:(1) Core Subscription Products were designed for customers that request net firm requirements load service to serve regional consumer load. A customer that is interested in the standard version of a core product or service (described in the catalog) may purchase the undelivered product or service at the applicable posted rate (see BPA’s 2002 Proposed Wholesale Power Rate Schedules)
(2) Customized Subscription Products are available for customers that request net firm requirements load service to serve regional consumer load (Core Products) and that want additional flexibility to shape their purchases from BPA in order to optimize their resource operations. These products will have bilaterally negotiated pricing for all modifications to Core Products and any additional products and services customers wish to purchase. The price for customized products that differ from the Core Products will be negotiated under the Firm Power Products and Services (FPS-96) Rate Schedule
Slice of the System purchasers will pay a corresponding percentage of BPA’s Power Business Line (PBL) revenue requirement without adjustment for secondary revenue credits
(3) Non-Subscription Products generally include power products and services that BPA may sell to a customer in the wholesale marketplace. The bilateral product descriptions in the catalog are examples of products and services BPA can provide. These or other commodity type products marketed by BPA’s trading floor may have limited availability. These products and services will be offered under the (FPS-96) Rate Schedule
Updates to the CatalogCustomers will note that certain changes have been made to some product descriptions. These changesincorporate BPA’s current policy guidance
Changes of note are:The addition of a new product, Generation Management Services, which is designed for utilities withnon-dispatachable generating resources or customers that wish to purchase management and dispatch Page i BPA POWER PRODUCTS CATALOGservices from BPA. The Partial Service products have been expanded to better achieve the objective ofequitable comparability with Full Service. For example, the Block Purchase amount may increase overtime if the customer’s net requirements increase and the Dedicated Resource concept has beenincorporated as a version of Simple Actual Partial Service
To alleviate some product overlap, the Insurance product and Block Flexibility product have beenremoved from the current product list
BPA’s green product has been renamed Environmentally Preferred Power
BPA will post the Power Product Team Report on its external web page in early September 1999. Thereport will provide more detail about the changes
Other Public Processes:The Power Products catalog describes the proposed products BPA will offer to its customers. Because afew of the critical processes are still ongoing, the customer is reminded that while the products areconsidered final, these unresolved issues will affect BPA’s final offer. The issues include:• 2002 Wholesale Power Rate Case;• Slice of the System;• 5(b)/9(c) (Net Requirements) Policy;• Eligibility for Service, and• Other Policy Guidance
Transmission Service:All products listed in the Power Products Catalog are priced on an undelivered basis. This means that thecustomer is responsible for acquiring transmission and associated ancillary services to deliver purchasedpower to load. Under certain circumstances, if requested, BPA will act as the customer’s “designatedagent” in order to perform the activities/responsibilities on behalf of the transmission contract holder (formore details contact your PBL Account Executive)
