Notice of Availability of Record of Decision for Firm Non- Requirements Products and Services Contracts

요약

BPA has decided to offer long-term firm non-requirements (FNR) products and services contracts that can be customized for interested utility and Direct Service Industry (DSI) customers or other purchasers needing products and services beyond those which BPA is obligated to provide by statute. These contracts are for the sale of electric power and other power-related products. BPA would provide for transmission and other services associated with the sale of electric power, either in the FNR contract or in separate, companion contracts. BPA would negotiate the FNR contracts to meet customers' needs. In making this decision, BPA is continuing its Market-Driven approach for participation in the increasingly competitive electric power market. This notice announces the availability of the ROD to offer long- term FNR contracts. This decision is consistent with BPA's Business Plan, Business Plan Environmental Impact Statement (BP EIS)(DOE/EIS- 0183, June 1995) and the Business Plan ROD (August 15, 1995).
