Energy Northwest

Formed as a joint operating agency in 1957, the Washington state legislature created Energy Northwest to serve the needs and aggregate the strengths of public power by providing energy services, and generating reliable, low-cost electricity. Today Energy Northwest is one of many public power joint action agencies across the United States. Representing the convergence of small and big public power utilities, the EN consortium of 27 public utility districts and municipalities take advantage of economies of scale and shared services to boost efficiency and effectiveness, all to the greater cost benefit of public power ratepayers.
