Our Lower Snake River Wind Facility just reached a big milestone – generating more than 10 million megawatt hours of energy since it went online in 2012.Every year, the facility generates on average enough electricity to serve about 70,000 homes. Several factors played a role in the wind facility achieving this stellar accomplishment; including having maintenance done when the wind isn’t blowing strong and replacing major components before a failure occurs to ensure the turbines are working in proper condition. This clean energy avoids about 300,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. Learn more: http://ms.spr.ly/6046Yk5wk

Happy Earth Day! 🌎Today, we celebrate our planet by taking meaningful actions towards sustainability. Simple efforts like turning off lights, unplugging electronics when not in use, and washing laundry in cold water can all contribute to reducing energy consumption. Every small change leads to a bigger impact. Working together, we can build a reliable, cleaner energy future for our region.
