Customers of Snohomish County Public Utility District have hit an energy milestone: their combined solar energy production now stands at one megawatt, double their solar energy output of two years ago. More than 200 PUD customers now cover part of their electricity needs through their own renewable energy, including rooftop solar units.

The PUD offers financial and technical assistance to customers who install solar photovoltaic and solar hot water systems in their homes and businesses. Customers who generate their own power may also be eligible to receive credit for the energy generated.
