Bonneville Power Administration | Company Profile - Revenue, Headcount, Tech Stack, Contacts

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a federal non-profit agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, established in 1937. It markets and transmits wholesale electric power from federal hydroelectric dams, primarily serving the Pacific Northwest and parts of eight western states. The agency plays a crucial role in supplying about one-third of the Northwest's electric power, mainly from hydroelectric resources.

BPA's core functions include marketing and transmitting electricity from 31 federal projects in the Federal Columbia River Power System. BPA provides high-voltage transmission services and administers programs for energy conservation, renewable resource development, and fish and wildlife enhancement. BPA prioritizes public utility districts, cooperatives, and public bodies as its customers, funding its operations through power sales revenue rather than tax dollars.
