Blue Ridge Power Agency    

Blue Ridge Power Agency is a "joint action" agency that operates as directed
by the Board of Directors. Each member appoints one Director and one Alternate
from its organization to the Board.

economies of scale of cooperative, "joint" action, is to pursue those activities
which will insure the most reliable and lowest cost wholesale electric power
supplies possible for its members today and in the future.
There are currently nine members of the agency. The current efforts of Blue
Ridge and its staff are focused mostly in two areas: (1) administering its
current power supply contract and the associated transmission contract; (2)
representing BRPA members’ interest where wholesale power supply and
transmission issues are involved, particularly in regard to the electric
industry’s transition to a restructured, "customer choice" structure.
