Eastern Washington Congressman Dan Newhouse (R, WA-04) and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) reintroduced the ‘
Pacific Northwest Pumped Storage Hydropower Development Act of 2021,’ as announced on Tuesday morning. With bipartisan backing, this bill has the power to lower energy costs for Washington state’s consumers while generating an expected 1,000 jobs and reducing the state’s carbon footprint.
“This legislation enhances our region’s hydropower capabilities while strengthening Washington’s leadership in our nation’s pathway to a clean energy future,” said Rep. Newhouse. “By streamlining the permitting process for pumped storage projects, we can encourage investment across the country. More immediately, this bill will pave the way for a pumped storage project right here in Central Washington that will create jobs, improve our storage capabilities, and increase our supply of clean, carbon-free energy.”
