Council profile
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council was
created by Congress through the 1980 Pacific Northwest Electric Power
Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power
Act) to give the citizens
of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington a stronger voice in determining
the future of key resources common to all four states — namely, the
electricity generated at, and fish and wildlife affected by, the Columbia
River Basin hydropower dams.
The Council is a unique organization that helps the
Pacific Northwest make critical decisions that balance the multiple uses
of the Columbia River and its tributaries.
