Description The BPA story is the story of transmission—design, construction, control and maintenance. It began at Bonneville Dam in 1939 when we completed our first transmission line to Vancouver, Washington. The 230-kV line, 37 miles in length, formed the first leg of what is today the longest jointly planned power grid in the nation.
