Association of Washington Business

The Washington Public Utility Districts Association (WPUDA) is a coalition of 27 not-for-profit, community-owned public utility districts in Washington, along with one joint-operating agency, Energy Northwest. Public Utility Districts (PUDs) in Washington are locally regulated utilities that provide essential services such as energy, water, sewer, and telecommunications to the communities they serve. These PUDs are governed by locally-elected Commissioners who reside in the areas they represent. With a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources, Washington PUDs rely on hydropower for about 80% of their energy needs, making them leaders in clean and green energy production. The WPUDA headquarters in Olympia stands as a testament to environmental stewardship with its platinum designation under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
