- NEW BONANZA SUBSTATION
This facility would be a new hub substation in Central Oregon near Prineville, OR. The new 115/230/500 kV Bonanza Substation would be built near BPA’s existing Ponderosa Substation.
Justification as BPA states it: Will create additional capacity to support new resource development and access to non-federal resources
Substations
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 new or rebuilt substations as BPA published them for its GERP cycle: expected energization year, estimated cost in dollars and status are planning figures at publication; the point is the existing substation yard or the named site.
Map location unavailable. This plant remains part of the source inventory and tables.
Estimated cost
300,000,000USD
