Powering our Future
Exploring options that grow with us
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE: Lead a unifying charge on inspiring government and key partners to assure Grant County’s enduring legacy of self-determination for power and services.
Grant PUD needs more electricity to
meet future demand
The demand for electricity in Grant County is rapidly growing beyond the capacity of Grant PUD’s energy resources. Our projections show the next decade will bring even faster growth, as more families arrive, business and industry expands, and emerging new sectors, including a shift toward electrified cars and trucks for personal and commercial use, require more electricity than we can supply, even with our current strategy of supplemental market purchases.
Preparing for the future
A dedicated team at Grant PUD is exploring various options to secure the additional energy needed to power our county affordably and reliably, while ensuring compliance with Washington's clean energy mandate. This is helping Grant PUD lead the way in clean energy innovation and environmental stewardship.
Longer-term solutions for both Grant PUD and the Pacific Northwest could include building or otherwise investing in new sources of generation to supplement our own carbon-free hydro, solar, and wind power portfolio. As we continue to weigh that option, we plan to lock in additional supplies of electricity and capacity through additional power-purchase contracts.
