RESOURCES: BPA Tier 1 (includes BPA PF) - The City of Port Angeles is a full resource customer of the
Bonneville Power Administration. The current BPA contract ends in 2028. This forecast for 2031 assumes the
City continues it's power purchase contract with BPA due to low cost and support of the City's energy efficiency.
CARBON: The City is complying with all state and federal requirements to decrease carbon in the the City's
power supply. As of 2020 (last year available) BPA's power is 94.61% carbon free. In addition, BPA estimates it
will maintain a 91% or better carbon-free power over the next ten years.
The City is participating in BPA's new contract-period talks and is pushing for a carbon-free energy product. In
the event such a product is not available in the next contract period the City does have the option of meeting
the 2030 goal of having a carbon-neutral power by utilizing up to 10% of its load with carbon offsets it can
purchase on the open market.
