The Public Power Council is a utilities-focused organization based in Portland, Oregon, that represents a diverse group of consumer-owned electric utilities across seven western states, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. Its core role is to preserve and protect the benefits of the Federal Columbia River Power System for its member utilities, which range from municipal utilities to public districts and electric cooperatives that have legal and historic priority to federal power at cost. By focusing on protecting this preference, the council aims to ensure access to federal power for its members and address related policy and regulatory issues that affect consumer-owned utilities in the region. The organization serves a variety of utilities by advocating for the interests of public power and supporting the stable access to federal power associated with member rights. A recent development noted is the appointment of Tia Robbin as Chief Administrative Officer, joining a trip to Capitol Hill to discuss these matters.
