WHAT IS PLANET POWER? Planet Power is a voluntary Snohomish Couny PUD program that funds exciting, local, renewable energy demonstration projects such as solar panels at schools and other public buildings in our community.
YOU CAN MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE in your community by helping to create local green jobs and new renewable energy. The Planet Power program allows you to take action on your environmental commitment.
As part of its strategic plan for meeting future customer demand, the PUD is increasingly looking to environmentally-friendly energy sources including tidal power, biomass, biogas, geothermal energy, wind and solar power. The PUD believes that the development of local, small scale renewable electric generation is an integral part of developing and promoting green power in its service territory.
The Planet Power program is funded by customer contributions and administered by the PUD to provide grants to carefully selected sites in the PUD service area that offer both community access and good potential for generating electricity from environmentally friendly resources, such as wind and solar. Customers that contribute to the Planet Power program funding are supporting power resources that are:
- Local – sites awarded grants must be within Snohomish County or Camano Island
- Renewable – power is sustainable and environmentally friendly
- Meaningful – make a difference in your community
