Benefits of Hydropower in Oregon
The four Lower Snake River hydroelectric dams are the low cost, carbon-free backbone of Oregon’s power supply and essential to meeting our region’s renewable energy goals. Wind and solar are a growing part of our clean energy system and hydropower from dams works together with them to meet demand and provide reliable carbon-free power when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining.
