Administrative history

The Northwest Power Planning Council is a four-state regional planning body formed by Congress in 1980 (Pacific Northwest Regional Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act; P.L. 96-501) to make regional conservation and electric power plans. These plans are to be implemented by the Bonneville Power Administration. The council is composed of two representatives from each member state: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. The body was originally known as the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council; the name was shortened to Northwest Power Planning Council in October 1981.
