CENTRAL OR DYNAMIC REACTIVE

This proposed project would install reactive support (STATCOM) for Central Oregon at Bonanza 500kV and a Captain Jack 500 kV. In addition, a new 500kV series capacitor would be added at Fort Rock Compensation Station.

Justification as BPA states it: Will create additional capacity to support 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 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.
