NCPA’s Federal Power Program is an issued-focused advocacy program that bridges both the legislative and regulatory arenas.  In addition to legislative and regulatory advocacy, the Program maintains strong relationships with representatives of the Western Area Power Administration and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, working with these agencies to represent the interests of the Central Valley Project power resource. We join with water interest throughout the state to ensure our collective water and power customer policy issues are carefully considered and addressed.

The Program is concerned with maximizing the net value of the federal power resource for NCPA member systems by advancing policies that improve the operation and administration of the Central Valley Project, while also ensuring that the multitude of federal legislative and administrative proposals and actions related to the management and operation of the federal power marketing program do not adversely impact power customers.
