Originally released in 2016, The Source website offers a one-stop shop for financial and operational information. With the latest expansion below, WAPA partnered with customers to determine data elements and information that would be most helpful to understand cost drivers and expenditures. The expansion of data was modeled after the most recent draft of the proposed Western Area Power Administration Transparency Act (received January 2018 from Senator Flake's office) under consideration by Congress.
