The Northwest Power and Conservation Council develops and maintains a regional power plan and a fish and wildlife program to balance the Northwest’s environment and energy needs. Our three tasks:

• develop a 20-year electric power plan that will guarantee adequate and reliable energy at the lowest economic and environmental cost to the Northwest,
• develop a program to protect and rebuild fish and wildlife populations affected by hydropower development in the Columbia River Basin,
• educate and involve the public in the Council’s decision-making processes.
