Actions are key to the company's long-term plan to meet customer needs

They also signed a memorandum of understanding with Bonneville Power Administration to seek innovative mutual transmission capacity solutions resulting in the company's decision to suspend permitting and development of the proposed Cascade Crossing transmission project.
