Practicing conservation and sustainability everyday
Our mission to generate energy coincides with our responsibility to care for the environment. We’re constantly improving practices and raising standards to help assure that the world around us is healthy and thriving.
Grant PUD’s federal license to generate hydropower from the Columbia River requires us to enhance public recreation along the 55 river miles of shoreline that contain the reservoirs of our Priest Rapids and Wanapum dams.
