With Bonneville’s responsibility to serve the majority of the Northwest region’s high voltage needs, Bonneville’s asset management strategy for transmission covers nine primary asset programs including alternating current substations, direct current substations, control centers, power system control, system telecommunications, system protection control, rights-of-way, wood pole lines, and steel lines. The assets within these programs deliver electric power to more than 12 million people.
