pal Utility Districts PV-ONE 1.175 Megawatt photovol- 

 taic power plant is shown, multiplied by one-thousand 

 to approximate a hypothetical SVG Plant ct that loca- 

 tion. SNUD PV-ONE uses East-West tracking that should 



gather more insolation minus of course the energy 



used in tracking. The PV-ONE actual performance data 

 suggests that the atmospherics used in the prediction 

 model for a similarly located SVG Plant needs local 

 daily weather corrections in those five winter months 

 of low output at the SHUD PV-1 location.

On flay 8, 1992 the Solar Voltaic Generation Plant, 

 basically as shown in these written comments, was 

 proposed to the Bonneville Administration, in response 

 to a BPA Solicitation, Reguest for Energy Options: The 

 Resource Contingency Program-Zlarch 1992. The Proposal 

 was pro bono in the public interest, readily engineered 

 and conducted in-house by BPA, offering to supply only 

 modest consulting if required. The caveat in the BPA 

 Solicitation reads; 



BPA is only interested in taking options on 

 resources that are cost-effective, reliable, 

 environmentally acceptable, and CONSISTENT WITH 

 THE OBJECTIVES OF NORTHWEST POWER PLANNING 

 COUNCIL'S 1991 POWER PLAN. BPA is required by 

 the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning 

 and Conservation Act (PL 96-501) to conduct 

 a public review of any decision to acquire 

 major resource to determine consistency with
