Markets+ or EDAM? It’s a decision that could help shape Western power markets for decades. In this month’s cover story, “Critical Crossroads: BPA Faces Defining Day-Ahead Markets Decision,” Kevin Wingert examines how new Bonneville Power Administration Administrator Travis Kavulla is weighing the options—and what the decision could mean for BPA, its customers, and the West.

Elsewhere in the August Bulletin, Lakeview Light & Power celebrates Tony Rusin’s remarkable 47-year career; Snohomish County PUD shares how its new SnoLeave program is simplifying paid family and medical leave for employees; Mason PUD 3 shows how infrastructure investments and strong partnerships are preparing its community for future growth; Julie Ryan explains how utilities can use key risk indicators to identify emerging risks; and Jefferson County Pud #1 shares how it streamlined broadband onboarding and went from adding just six customers in one month to 153 in a single month a little over a year later.
