Rocky Reach Run-of-river Hydroelectric Project
Description: People throughout the Northwest benefit from clean, renewable energy produced at Rocky Reach. In 2009 the project generated 5.4 million megawatt-hours of electricity. The project is also nationally recognized for efforts to protect the environment. A first-of-its-kind juvenile fish bypass system was completed in 2003 to help young salmon and steelhead on their way to the ocean. A major powerhouse upgrade started in 1995 includes new turbines that are more fish friendly. Over $3 million was invested in fish protection improvements in 2009.
