to the public power community From Blackberries to iPods to holographic imagery and beyond, information today is traveling at the speed of light. How much of this information is vital might be the subject of debate. What is truly essential is sometimes lost in the noise.
At Energy Northwest, we believe that, notwithstanding the value of good information, hard work, and perseverance, vision is most critical to the success of any endeavor, be it information technology or electricity generation and delivery. Vision sets direction and provides focus. Everything flows from that. To operate without a clear vision is to risk getting lost in a sea of information and good intentions, however useful.
With this annual report, we honor the 20th century vision that spawned the public power movement in the state of Washington and throughout our nation. The power of that vision has resonated through decades of service to ratepayers across the Northwest. Public power and public power delivery systems have been and continue to be crucial to the economic success of the region. They are the bedrock on which business grows and communities thrive.
Energy Northwest is part of that same vision. A natural outgrowth of the public power model, this agency's sole purpose is to serve member utilities and the greater public power community-through electricity generation, new resource development, and the tools needed to ensure optimum operations and production.
The process works like this: First, we listen to our constituents. Then, we deliver solutions. Our vision comes from knowing the market we serve inside and out. But it is something greater than knowledge that informs our vision. It is inspiration, ideas, and the courage to pursue them for the greater good.
Energy Northwest has been at this work since 1957. As an organization, we have experienced great successes and projects that never came to fruition. Through it all, we have never lost sight of the public power vision and overarching purpose to serve. They have been our inspiration for nearly 50 years, and we look forward to another half century of service to the Northwest.
