Hydro is our power!

The Pacific Northwest is a very special place to live, and we are so fortunate to have an abundant power generator in our rivers. Hydropower is truly the lifeblood of our electric grid in this region. The dams provide us with clean, carbon-free power and they enable us to power our lives at very affordable rates. The Pacific Northwest receives over 85 percent of its renewable energy from hydropower and that’s why at Inland Power we continue to be an active proponent of its benefits.

The world is pushing toward electrifying the transportation industry while simultaneously removing large power generators like coal and natural gas. So, we have two choices – protect the hydroelectric system–or breach the dams and be extremely vulnerable to rolling blackouts on a regular basis. Inland Power is committed to fighting for our dams to ensure our way of an electrified life continues.

We encourage our members to get involved and help us in our mission to keep utilities affordable and protect our power supply. To find out how you can get involved,visit our Grassroots Action Team page at inlandpower.com/grassroots-action , and to learn more about hydropower, visit inlandpower.com/hydropower
