The Columbia Basin Energy Report is produced by Intermountain Communications of Bend, Oregon.

We offer trustworthy, timely and affordable news and information about Columbia River Basin energy issues. We focus on the federal Columbia River hydropower system and other energy resources, renewable energy, conservation, energy efficiency, energy policy, utility news, and key litigation.

We have a particular interest in initiatives by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and the Bonneville Power Administration.

Our aim is to serve not only those connected to energy issues by profession, but also the much wider, general audience interested in Columbia Basin energy news.

In other words, we are not an industry insider newsletter, of which there are many. We deliver to ALL Columbia Basin energy stakeholders accessible and affordable news and information.
