Bringing Public
Power Together

The Public Power Council has a diverse membership, with electric utilities ranging in size from 10 to 400,000 customers in seven western states – including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.

Our members include municipal utilities, public or people’s utility districts, and electric cooperatives.
All of these utilities have a legal and historic first right to federal power.

Protecting this right, known as “preference,” is among PPC’s most vital charges.
