• Provide some degree of cost certainty by inserting an independent decision maker into 

 the BPA rate-setting process. 



• Provide a menu of services in future power sales contracts.

 and Northwest ratepayers. 



CONCLUSION 



Thank you for the opportunity to address the Committee on these matters.
