| Lookingglass Substation | 20 MW | energized | BPA | not stated |
| Gardiner-Reedsport | 8 MW | energized | BPA | not stated |
494 of the 545 large-load requests we hold state no end use at all, so most cannot be attributed to any industry. Where this table says “not stated”, that is the filing’s own silence, not our omission.
