Northwest Hydro Lives Here
Hydropower is the single most important resource for producing electricity in the Northwest. About 58 percent (approximately 33,000 megawatts) of the region’s generating capacity comes from hydroelectric dams. Under normal precipitation, dams supply about three-quarters of the electricity that lights homes and powers commerce and industry in the Northwest. Because hydroelectricity is clean and renewable and has no carbon emissions, the region’s carbon footprint is half that of other regions of the country.
