SUMMARY: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has decided to offer 
Puget Sound Energy Inc., a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement 
for interconnection of up to 1250 megawatts of power into the Federal 
Columbia River Transmission System. The power would be generated from 
their proposed Lower Snake River Wind Energy Project (Wind Project) in

the Port of Central Ferry, Washington. This decision to interconnect 
the Wind Project is consistent with and tiered to BPA's Business Plan 
Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0183, June 1995), and the 
Business Plan Record of Decision (BP ROD, August 1995).
