Wind Power
Part of PSE's clean, renewable energy initiative
Clean, renewable energy is becoming a core part of Puget Sound Energy's power supply. PSE's goal is to meet up to 10 percent of its customers' total electricity need with cost-effective renewable resources by 2013. A major step in that direction is PSE's ownership and operation of two large wind farms in Washington state.
PSE's first wind farm, the Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility, is in Columbia County. The second, and largest, is the Wild Horse Wind Facility in Kittitas County. Together they produce enough electricity to serve nearly 100,000 households. Hopkins Ridge and Wild Horse make PSE the first and, so far, the only Northwest utility to solely own and operate large wind-powered facilities. PSE is exploring the acquisition of additional wind-power resources.
