Bonneville Power Administration: Better Management of BPA's Obligation to Provide Power Is Needed to Control Future Costs
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has experienced
significant financial problems in recent years. BPA's cash
reserves at the end of fiscal year 2002 had fallen to $188
million, and BPA estimated in February 2003 that it had a 74
percent chance of missing its Treasury debt payment that year.
While BPA's finances have recently improved, and the agency made
its Treasury payment in 2003, BPA's financial condition is still
far from robust. In this context, GAO was asked to report on (1)
the advantages and disadvantages BPA faces in marketing electric
power in a more competitive environment, (2) the major causes of
BPA's recent cost increases, and (3) the extent to which BPA is
taking actions to control its costs.
