Stewardship...

Environmental values are an important part of our Pacific Northwest heritage. So, too, is the low-cost and clean energy produced by Federal hydroelectric facilities located throughout the Columbia River Basin.

Today, BPA and its partners operating the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) are working diligently to protect and enhance our environmental, fish, and wildlife values, and ensure these qualities for future generations.
