Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to acquire equipment from Northwestern Energy at BPA's Garrison Substation. Currently, Northwestern Energy is obligated to enter the substation yard in order to maintain their equipment, including circuit breakers, disconnects, relay lines, instrument transformers, SCADA, and metering. The acquisition is necessary due to BPA's Agency Decision Framework, which recommends minimizing customer access inside BPA facilities by purchasing customer-owned equipment where feasible.
