Benefits of aggregation

PNGC Power operates as a Joint Operating Entity (JOE), aggregating the members’ loads and resources and purchasing net requirements from BPA under consolidated contractual agreements. This allows us to save on costs, as we can efficiently leverage opportunities and more accurately manage, forecast, purchase and schedule for one combined load, rather than 15 individual loads. And aggregation allows utilities of all sizes to engage with the expertise necessary for effective power supply management.

By combining members purchases we create a total system load shape that matches up well with the generation output of the FBS. This flexibility and our access to power markets help us manage market volatility and mitigate power price and supply risk for members.
