Webinar: Risk-Informed Asset Management: Columbia River Power System
The Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) spans 31 federally operated dams managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration. Together, these agencies must coordinate long-term capital investments while balancing reliability, environmental obligations, flood control, and ratepayer accountability.
In this Energy Central webinar, Gordon Ashby and Micah Koller from BPA will share how the agencies align on risk-informed asset investment planning — using quantitative risk modeling and scenario analysis to evaluate funding trade-offs, prioritize interventions, and build defensible capital plans across a shared federal system.
This session provides utilities with a practical example of how enterprise-wide capital strategy can strengthen transparency, optimize investment decisions, and support long-term system performance.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how BPA uses quantitative risk modeling and scenario analysis to evaluate funding trade-offs and prioritize high-impact asset investments
- Gain practical insights into creating transparent, data-driven capital plans that support long-term system performance and stakeholder confidence
- Learn how the FCRPS agencies align capital investment decisions across 31 federally operated dams while balancing reliability, environmental obligations, flood control, and ratepayer accountability
- Explore real-world approaches to enterprise-wide asset investment planning that utilities can adapt to improve decision-making and optimize infrastructure spending
