B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N Transmission West from Montana Title To gain 500MW of transmission capacity, The Montana to Washington Transmission Upgrade Project (M2W) requires a new compensation station, upgrades at 5 existing substations, and line reconductoring. In addition: Transmission on BPA s system also requires construction of the Central Ferry Lower Monumental 500 kV line (38 miles, 800 MW renewables, DEC 2015 energization) System expansion requires generator dropping via RAS. Transmission west from MT also requires 500 kV upgrades on NorthWestern Energy s system (the Colstrip Upgrade Project or CUP-East)
