Summary
Cascade Renewable Transmission is a proposed 400-kilovolt (kV) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric transmission facility spanning about 100 miles between the BPA Big Eddy substation near The Dalles, Oregon, and the PGE Harborton substation in Portland, Oregon. The project would be built primarily within the Columbia River bed in both Oregon and Washington, with approximately 40 miles in Washington and 58 miles in Oregon, including about 7.6 miles of underground cable in Skamania County to bypass the Bonneville Locks and Dam.
