The dams supply over 3,000 megawatts of hydropower for 52 electric co-ops in the West.

A diverse energy portfolio is essential to reliability, NRECA CEO Jim Matheson said.

Top issues for co-ops include permitting reform and repealing the EPA power plant rule.

Congressional leaders from both parties pledged to support co-ops’ push for reliable energy.

The rule would have “significant impacts on reliability” and increase costs for co-ops, NRECA
