Completed Financial Plan Refresh

The 2022 Financial Plan establishes a guiding framework for decision-making by defining the financial constraints within which BPA operates and outlining objectives BPA has established to sustain its financial strength. The plan contains three sections that build from and support each other: 
  1. Statutory obligations and authorities. 
  2. Financial policies and established practices. 
  3. Financial objectives.

BPA’s Financial Plan is an important companion to BPA’s strategic direction. BPA will revise and update its financial plan periodically, depending upon actual financial performance or material changes in the operating environment. 

 

Public Engagement

BPA hosted a series of public workshops and held informal comment periods after each workshop to gather written comments and questions related to the content shared.
