The Open Market Auction Contract (OMAC) for 2011- This is the Contract that will be executed with the successful auction winner.

A Sample Resolution – In addition to the signed Contract, the auction winner will also need to present a board resolution, ordinance or policy authorizing said signatory to enter in a contract with the District for the purchase of energy prior to Contract execution on November 4th, 2011.

Data Files
On this website you will find everything you need to evaluation our power product. Under the Priest Rapids Project Section you will find several data files which have been updated to contain the most current Project operations data.

Priest Rapids Project (Wanapum & Priest Rapids Hydro Developments - WAPR)

Under this section you will find the Auction Bid Recaps. These recaps list the auction participants in alphabetical order and lists Bids in descending order. There is no link between the participants and their bids.

Exhibit C of the Open Market Auction Contract is a letter of clarification of mutual responsibilities regarding compliance protocols to be exercised by BPA, Grant and the auction winner. BPA’s 5(b)9(c) Letter addresses the extra regional sale of regional resources and BPA’s Policy on Determining Net Requirements of the Pacific Northwest Utility Customers under Sections 5(b)(1) and 9(c) of the Northwest Power Act.

Also available under this section is the Mid-C Hourly Coordination Video. Although dated, this video offers an overview of operations on the Mid-Columbia.

The Scheduling and Operating Reserves document addresses commonly asked questions regarding those topics. New this year is the requirement, that if the Auction winner selects Grant’s BA as the host BA, that Grant is requiring reserve set asides.

WAPR Operations Overview gives a cliff notes overview of Hourly Coordination, transmission rights and obligations, scheduling rights and obligations, balancing authority operational issues, and significant non-power requirements. This information is helpful in understanding operations on the Mid-C and also gives insight to interpreting data files available on our website.

Monthly Net Generation reflects expected month end generation accumulations. This file contains both expected flows and expected generation for the 70 years of record. These data are net of Rock Island encroachment and Canadian Entitlement returns but does not include planned maintenance.
