Discuss/Approve Membership in the Northwest Intergovernmental Energy Supply and or Bonneville Power for Tier II Power in the future.
Tier II power refers to the amount not covered by the base supplied from BPA. Because BPA is part of the U.S. Department of Energy, the federal government could raise prices to market level. The federal government can also mandate green power sources, which are significantly more expensive. Membership in the Northwest Requirements Utilities (NRU), a nonprofit association representing utilities in seven states, allows a municipality to purchase additional power from a supplier that doesn’t operate under federal mandates.
City Superintendent updated the Mayor and Council on the Northwest Requirements Utilities meeting that he attended.
