Webinar | Risk-Informed Asset Management: Columbia River Power System
Risk-Informed Asset Management Across the Federal 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.
