1 Bonneville Power Administration

2 BPA markets power from 31 federally owned dams, one non-federal nuclear plant, and wind energy generation facilities BPA accounts for about 45% of the electricity consumed in the region Over 80% of the energy BPA sells is from hydroelectric generation 60% of the energy consumed in the Pacific NW is from hydroelectric generation

3 Federal Columbia River Power System River system developed & operated for: Flood control Navigation Irrigation Municipal & industrial water Recreation Fish & wildlife Power production

4 The Columbia River 1214 miles long Drainage area: 258,500 square miles Annual runoff: 134 million acre feet (maf) Canada has 15% of basin area, but provides 30% of the annual runoff Average flow at The Dalles dam: 178,000 cfs

5 Climatological zones range from high deserts to mountain ranges Elevation ranges from 300ft to over 10,000ft Impacted by Pacific Ocean as well as continental influences The Columbia River Basin
