Wind Power in Puget Sound
Puget Sound Energy’s Wind Power
Clean, renewable energy is becoming a core part of Puget Sound Energy’s power supply. PSE’s goal is to meet up to 10 percent of its customers’ total electricity need with cost-effective renewable resources by 2013. A major step in that direction is PSE’s ownership and operation of two large wind farms in [...]
Save Money with Solar Power
