About PNUCC

This voluntary, informal organization of public and private utilities was founded in 1946 on the premise that policy positions are strongest when forged from consensus of diverse groups. Today, PNUCC members include public and private electric utilities from four Northwest states – Washington, Montana, Oregon and Idaho.

PNUCC is active in resource planning efforts, the analysis and evaluation of the region’s power supply and demand, and the implications of energy related policy decisions. This forum provides opportunities to exchange information, discuss mutual interests, explore differences, and – to the extent possible – reach consensus.

As a nonprofit corporation, PNUCC’s mission continues to bring the power of good ideas together to assist members in fulfilling their company missions in this ever-changing electric industry.
