Energy Northwest welcomes new members
Energy Northwest, based in Richland, Wash., now has 27 member utilities. The agency's board of directors has approved membership applications from the Lewis County Public Utility District and the City of Centralia. This is the largest membership in the 51-year history of the organization. Energy Northwest was formed as a Washington State Joint Operating Agency in 1957 to provide low-cost power for its publicly owned utility members by aggregating needs and building power generation facilities to meet those needs. The agency produces power "at-cost" for its members and owns and operates Columbia Generating Station, Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project, White Bluffs Solar Station and Nine Canyon Wind Project.
