The Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NPCC) is finalizing its Ninth Power Plan—a regional blueprint that will shape how energy is generated, used, and conserved through 2046.
The draft plan is on the right track, but we need to urge the Council to do more to ensure a healthy, livable future for our communities, climate, and salmon.
There are just two public hearings left. Let’s make them count!
💻 10/1: Virtual Public Hearing
Held via Zoom from 4:00–6:00pm. If you’re not local to Seattle, this is your final chance to weigh in through public testimony.
Urge the Council to invest in clean energy, incentivize efficiency through programs like demand response, and prioritize salmon recovery rather than building new fossil fuel infrastructure.
10/7: Seattle Public Hearing
The Council’s final public hearing will be held at Seattle University on Wednesday, October 7—and we need you there with us! In-person testimony is one of the most impactful ways members of the public can weigh in on the plan.
New to public testimony? We’ve got you covered!
On Wednesday (9/30), we’re hosting a Seattle Social + Testimony Prep Session at Rein Haus in Capitol Hill from 7:00–8:30pm.
Come early, swing by late, head out early, close it down—just show up and hang out! We’ll have free dinner, an overview of the Ninth Power Plan, a rundown of the key issues we’re advocating around, and a walkthrough of how to prepare and deliver effective public testimony.
Whether you’ve testified before or this is your first time, you’ll leave feeling prepared and confident to make your voice heard.
Registration for the hearings, Seattle Social, and resources to learn more + help you draft effective testimony are all at the link in our bio!
