The Bonneville Power Administration has turned north of the border to find an ally in its effort to balance hydroelectric production and the needs of endangered fish in the Northwest.
BPA and the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority have signed an agreement that officials say will help better manage water flows on the upper Columbia River in Canada.
That could help BPA as it tries to control hydro and wind generation while safeguarding the region's $800 million annual investment in fish and wildlife production.
