BP Cherry Point Cogeneration Project

This notice announces the availability of the ROD to implement the proposed action identified in the BP Cherry Point Cogeneration Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) (DOE/EIS-0349, August 2004). Under the proposed action, Bonneville will offer contract terms for interconnection of the BP Cherry Point Cogeneration Project (Project) with the Federal Columbia River Transmission System (FCRTS), as requested by BP West Coast Products, LLC (BP) and proposed in the FEIS. Under that contract, Bonneville and BP will jointly construct a switchyard at the Project site, and Bonneville will construct a 230- kilovolt transmission line to connect the Project to the FCRTS (0.8 miles of new construction, and about 5 miles involving reconstruction of an existing transmission line). Bonneville also has decided to offer separate contract terms for firm transmission services from the point of interconnection to the Mid-Columbia trading hub in central Washington (400 megawatts) and to John Day Substation in north central Oregon (200 megawatts).
