February 8, 2013Stephen R. OliverBonneville Power AdministrationDavid PonganisU.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern DivisionU.S. Entity Coordinators, Columbia River TreatyCRT Review (DKE)P.O. Box 14428Portland, OR 97293Delivered via e-mail to: treatyreview@bpa.govDear Mr. Oliver and Mr. Ponganis:Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the U.S. Entity’s Columbia River Treaty(“CRT”) review process. For the reasons discussed below, Pacific Northwest GeneratingCooperative (“PNGC Power”) supports the U.S. Entity recommending to the U.S. Department ofState that it send notice of termination to the Canadian government, triggering the ten yeartermination period pursuant to the terms of the treaty. Such a recommendation of notice oftermination would allow for negotiations with Canada that address the overvaluation of theCanadian Entitlement (“CE”) 1 and other issues critical to PNGC Power and to the region.I. PNGC PowerPNGC Power is a wholesale electricity cooperative that provides electricity and managementservices to its 14 retail cooperative Members. PNGC Power’s Members are based in Oregon,Washington, Idaho, and Montana and serve mostly rural communities in seven western states.PNGC Power is the Bonneville Power Administration’s (“BPA’s”) third largest customer,procuring a significant amount of power from the agency to meet its Members’ needs. Wetherefore have a strong interest in the management and of the Federal Columbia River PowerSystem (“FCRPS”), the Columbia River, and the CRT. Through the Columbia River TreatyPower Group 2 and independently, PNGC Power has been actively engaging in CRT discussions1 The CE is the amount of energy and capacity that the United States provides to Canada each year pursuant theCRT. The CE is based on a formula in the CRT originally meant to represent one half of the downstream powerbenefits resulting from the treaty.2 The Columbia River Power Group is an ad hoc collection of utilities, other river users, and trade associations thatwork together to represent utility interests related to the CRT. Members of the group collectively represent all 6.4million electricity ratepayers in the Northwest.Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative711 NE Halsey • Portland, OR 97232-1268(503) 288-1234 • Fax (503) 288-2334 • www.pngcpower.com
