PacifiCorp's 
						statement regarding FERC's order on partial transfer of 
						Klamath River dam's license
						
						Yreka News 7/17/2020

						PacifiCorp released the following statement regarding 
						Thursday’s order by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
						Commission on partial transfer of the license for the 
						four lower Klamath River dams from 
						
						
						
						
						Pacificorp
						
						to the Klamath River 
						Renewal Corporation.

						
						PacifiCorp is continuing to fully examine the order and 
						will consult with our settlement partners to assess its 
						impact on continued implementation of the Klamath 
						Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement.

						
						Throughout this process, PacifiCorp has been clear about 
						the bedrock principles of ensuring customer protections 
						in charting a path forward for the Klamath River dams. 
						Today’s order rejects the transfer of the license from 
						PacifiCorp to the Klamath River Renewal Corporation 
						under the agreement by requiring PacifiCorp to remain 
						co-licensee for the dams through the removal process. 
						The Klamath River Renewal Corporation’s inability to 
						become the sole licensee for removal of the Klamath 
						River dams denies the customer protections PacifiCorp 
						negotiated on their behalf.

						We 
						expect to reconvene with our settlement parties to 
						determine next steps for continued agreement 
						implementation.

						
						PacifiCorp continues to believe that a multi-party 
						settlement provides the best way forward to resolve the 
						future for the Klamath dams, while helping resolve 
						difficult natural resource conflicts in the Klamath 
						Basin.
