BPA transmission project. A project record with the source’s own status, dates and estimates. A proposal or connection request does not establish operation.
2026-07-29
BPA proposes to rebuild 91 miles of the existing Big Eddy-Chemawa #1 230 kV line to 500 kV line and re-terminate between BPA’s Big Eddy Substation (The Dalles, OR), Ostrander Substation (Oregon City, OR) and Pearl Substation (Wilsonville, OR).
Justification as BPA states it: Supports regional load growth, reliability needs and commercial requests for long-term transmission
A planning bundle in BPA's Grid Expansion and Reinforcement Portfolio: status, expected energization and cost change with each cycle; not a permit, a contract or a route. Proposed line rebuilds and upgrades as BPA published them for its GERP cycle: expected energization year, estimated cost in dollars and status are BPA's planning figures at publication and change with each cycle; the geometry is the existing line the project follows, not a final route.
Map location unavailable. This plant remains part of the source inventory and tables.
