Nearly a third of all state residents receive power from a PUD.
PUDs get nearly 82 percent of their electricity from reliable, renewable hydropower generation. More about hydropower.
With wind, solar, hydro and nuclear generating facilities, Energy Northwest, a joint operating agency, delivers nearly 1,400 megawatts of renewable energy to the Northwest Power grid.
In 2009, Cowlitz and Klickitat PUDs received the Department of Energy’s Wind Power Pioneer Award for their role in developing the White Creek Wind Project in Klickitat County. The 205-megawatt project is the largest wind farm in the country developed by public power utilities.
