SHARE YOUR OPINION!

Hydropower’s carbon-free attributes are tremendously important to the health of our planet and its people.

Unfortunately, despite its importance, the future of Northwest hydropower is in real jeopardy.

We believe calls to remove productive hydropower dams just don’t make sense. Let your elected officials know how you feel.

Fire risk remains very high/extreme

Due to the current hot, dry conditions and extreme fire danger, CREA has placed portions of our system in fire safety mode in an effort to decrease fire risk. This means that members could experience an increase in the frequency and duration of outages. This status will remain in place throughout the fire danger season. By placing our system in fire safety mode, we can reduce the likelihood of an object coming into contact with an energized line. Thank you for your understanding and your patience. 

Ruralite Magazine

Each month Columbia REA members receive a copy of Ruralite Magazine which provides up-to-date news and information about their electrical cooperative. You can now get instant free access to the digital edition of Ruralite Magazine. If you missed previous editions, you can access back issues as well!
