Value of the River - Transmission

To deliver power, BPA began building transmission lines in the 1930s. Today the system includes more than 15,000 circuit-miles of line. BPA's high-voltage electric grid links virtually all utilities in the Northwest. BPA also operates large interregional transmission lines that connect the Northwest grid to Canada, eastern Montana, California and other areas.
These lines enable BPA and other utilities to bring power into the region when it's needed, such as on very cold winter days, and to sell power outside the region when it is surplus to Northwest needs.

B.C Hydro has transmission lines from northern BC that are as far north as Los Angeles is south and feeds the BPA system and the Pacific intertie and the new site c dam will soon come on line and compliment the peace canyon and wac bennett dams as well as the 2805 megawatt mica dam and revelstoke dam through their Powerex subsidiary

He forgot to mention that hydro power is also sent to Los Angeles nearly 1,000 miles away via HVDC Power lines

Dear BPA, I am working for Power Transmission Company, EVN Vietnam. I am very interesting with your videos. As I see, some your transmission line without earth wire (for lightning protection), maybe! Could you tell me about that? Thank you so much.

They all have earthing conductors. The one line where you see only three conductors is a high voltage direct current line, you have a positive conductor, a negative conductor, and the earthing conductor on that line.
