PNGC Power is at a pivotal moment in the Pacific Northwest energy transition. Over the past three years we grew from 16 to 25 member cooperatives, secured a $78.9 million USDA grant to jumpstart rural renewables, and launched a diversified resource development program spanning a natural gas plant, geothermal, and solar + battery projects.
