that can be Implemented by BPA for start-up of several 

 thousand megawatt capacity SVG POWER PLANTS before the 

 turn of the century. 



To lessen environmental impacts and regulatory siting 

 delays, each thousand megawatt SVG Power plant occupies 

 5220 acres of tilled land in co-production of crops and 

 kilowatts. This analysis of SVG POWER PLANTS in the 

 BPA system shows plant investment and cost of SVG 

 energy to be well within current Pacific Northwest rate 

 structures. SVG POWER PLANTS capacity capable of 

 supplying 1500 aNW annually require only a part of the 

 $2.8 Billion the Bonneville Power Administration 

 recently assigned to "acquiring conservotion" . 



The 1000 Megawatt gross maximum capacity plant consists 

 of two parts, 1) a BPA procured and operated INTERFACE 

 SUBSTATION growing with electric demand to cover a 

 little over eight Sections of land and 2) Independent 

 Power Producer owned SOLAR VOLTAIC UNIT GENERATORS 

 producing energy at thousands of standardized, 

 interface 'power slots". Such an INTERFACE SUBSTATION 

 cost is conservatively shown at less than $168 Hillion. 

 An energy options solicitation of the many worldwide 

 ■anufacturers of Solar Voltaic Unit Generator modules 

 can be expected to yield energy option offers at less 

 than current BPA's Avoided Cost or Preference Rate of 

 2.27 cents per kilowatt-hour. A BPA Interface 

 Substation fully provisioned with IPP owned Solar
