2023 Lower Snake River Wind Expansion RFP
PSE currently owns and operates the 157 MW Hopkins Ridge wind energy facility in Columbia County near the city of Dayton, 华盛顿, and the 343 MW Lower Snake River wind energy facility in Garfield County near the city of Pomeroy, 华盛顿. PSE holds additional wind project development rights in both Columbia and Garfield Counties over approximately 67,000 acres of privately owned land, and electric system interconnection rights with the Bonneville Power Administration (“BPA”) up to 640 MW.
