DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Bonneville Power Administration
Goodnoe Hills and White Creek Wind Energy Projects, October 2005
AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy
(DOE).
ACTION: Notice of availability of Record of Decision (ROD).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: BPA has decided to offer contract terms for interconnection of
the Goodnoe Hills and White Creek Wind Energy Projects into the Federal
Columbia River Transmission System (FCRTS) at the Rock Creek substation
in Klickitat County, Washington. The Large Generation Interconnection
Agreement (LGIA) provides for interconnection of the Wind Projects with
the FCRTS, the operation of Goodnoe Hills and White Creek Wind Energy
Projects in the BPA Control Area (including control area services such
as generation imbalance service), and the maintenance of reliability of
the FCRTS and interconnected systems. It also provides for the
construction, operation and maintenance of the interconnection
facilities (i.e., the Rock Creek substation). As described above, BPA
has considered both the economic and environmental consequences of
taking action to integrate power from the Wind Projects into the FCRTS.
This notice announces the availability of the ROD to offer terms to
interconnect the Wind Projects based on the Business Plan Final
Environment Impact Statement (BP EIS) (DOE/EIS-0183, June 1995), and
the Business Plan Record of Decision (BP ROD, August 15, 1995). BPA has
decided to offer terms to interconnect the Wind Projects in Klickitat
County, Washington.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS may be obtained by calling BPA's
toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. The ROD and EIS
Summary are also available on our Web site, http://www.efw.bpa.gov.
