Businesswire.com has reported today that the already the Northwest’s largest utility producer of renewable energy by virtue of its two large wind farms in Washington state, PSE this month finished building the main installation of the Northwest’s largest solar-power generating facility at the company’s Wild Horse Wind Facility near Ellensburg, Wash. Meanwhile, more and more PSE customers, with the utility’s help, are developing their own, on-site renewable-power generating systems.

Businesswire.com has reported today that the more than 200 PSE customers in nine Western Washington counties today are generating electricity from their own roofs and backyards, primarily with 700 kW of solar system capacity. As participants in PSE’s net-metering program, these customers offset their utility bills and get future credit by feeding any excess electricity they produce back to PSE’s power grid.

Businesswire.com has reported today that the within the past year, the number of PSE net-metered customers nearly doubled, making PSE’s metered program among the largest and fastest growing in the state.

“Our customers’ interest and investments in the environment demonstrate the region’s commitment to renewable resources,” said Kimberly Harris, executive vice president and chief resource officer for PSE. “PSE is proud to reach this important milestone and to serve customers who are working to go green and conserve our valuable resources.”
