Owns
Share-weighted MWAn organization with a reported share of a generator. Owned MW applies that share to operating nameplate capacity; it does not establish who buys the output.Definition ↗ Disclosed supply · Washington fuel mixA supplier’s reported sources of electricity sold to Washington customers, grouped by fuel.Definition ↗
Not a Washington retail supplier in the Fuel Mix Disclosure extracts (CY2014–CY2024 loaded), or not linked by the reviewed claimant crosswalk
Carbon allowances · no-cost allocationAn emissions allowance Washington assigns to an eligible utility without charge. It is not measured emissions.Definition ↗
Not a CETA-obligated electric utility in Ecology's allowance schedule (or not linked by the reviewed crosswalk); only Washington retail utilities subject to the Clean Energy Transformation Act receive no-cost allowances. Checked wa-ecology-cca-allowances 2026-09-18

Missing cells stay missing; partial seller sums are marked and have no USD/MWh ratio. FERC Form 1 Schedule 326 rows for the report year; seller names as filed; an organization link exists only through a reviewed crosswalk row; MWh uses purchased_mwh through 2020 and purchased other than storage from 2021. A row counts as a seller when it names a party, whatever its purchase type: FERC's AD code marks an adjusting entry, and an adjusting entry naming a company is still money between that company and the respondent. Rows whose name is a mechanism (deferrals, allowances, the residential exchange) are listed as adjustments; rows naming a market operator are listed as market settlements
Revenue by customer class
Schedule 300 class lines as the form computes them (as_computed); usd_per_mwh is revenue over MWh sold for that class; the class lines are not re-summed here; EIA-861 revenue and price for the same utility are on the retail block and can differ (different survey, scope and year)

Customer programmes
EIA-861 Schedule 6, as filed Programme results as each utility filed them, by customer class and report year, each in its own unit. Classes are never added into a total, years are never added into a period, and savings are never divided by sales. The one ratio shown, enrolled demand-response customers against the utility's own EIA-861 customer count for the same state, class and year, carries both counts.
Energy efficiency EIA-861 Schedule 6 Part A
No EIA-861 rows in the atlas states.

No EIA-861 rows in the atlas states.
Population: organizations of this release with EIA-861 rows in the core states. A short-form respondent has no figures to file; a long-form respondent without a row may have no programmes or may have a nonutility administrator reporting for it. Years without a row are listed against the table's span, not against the years this utility filed the form.
