SRP appreciates BPA’s NTFP and understands that due to challenges related to long-term firm transmission availability, the intent of this NTFP is to remove the PRM from the Forward Showing transmission requirement by attaching the requirement to only P50 load, as opposed to P50 load + PRM. However, SRP requests additional details on expected program impacts, such as one or two examples that show the before and after transmission requirement and how the removed PRM portion of the transmission requirement is expected to be managed between the Forward Showing and Operations Program. SRP is not opposed to further review of this concept, but to ensure the success of the program and mitigate unintended outcomes, SRP recommends that this be evaluated through a collaborative participant discussion before any permanent change is adopted.
