The Electron Hydroelectric Project, originally known as the Puyallup Project, is a hydroelectric power plant operated by Electron Hydro LLC on the Puyallup River in Pierce County, Washington. It generates 26.2 megawatts (35,100 hp) of electricity and is operated and maintained by approximately 20 full-time employees.
In 2020, Washington had a total summer capacity of 30,669 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 116,114 GWh. [2] The electrical energy generation mix in 2022 was 67.6% hydroelectric, 12.5% natural gas, 8.4% nuclear, 6.9% wind, 3.1% coal, and 1.1% biomass which includes most refuse-derived fuel.

The Hoover Dam in Arizona and Nevada was the first hydroelectric power station in the United States to have a capacity of at least 1,000 MW upon completion in 1936. Since then numerous other hydroelectric power stations have surpassed the 1,000 MW threshold, most often through the expansion of existing hydroelectric facilities.
The dam diverts a portion of the Puyallup River into a long flume, which runs for several miles to Electron, where the water is passed through turbines in a hydroelectric powerhouse before being returned to the river. The Puyallup River passes through a steep and narrow gorge between Electron Dam and the powerhouse.
PSE was formed in 1997 when two of its largest ancestral companies – Puget Sound Power & Light Company and Washington Energy Company – merged. [21] Puget Sound Power and Light was itself preceded by several companies that were founded in the 1870s and 1880s and built the region's first hydroelectric plant at Snoqualmie Falls in 1898. [22]
