What Northwest Power Pool does
Mission
The Northwest Power Pool ("nwpp") mission is to support electric reliability by providing cost-effective reliablity services, developed in cooperation with members, to member organizations across the west.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
NWPP administers the implementation and ongoing support of a Western Resource Adequacy Program (WRAP) for approximately 22 member participants in the western interconnection. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the program with an effective date of January 1, 2023. The wrap program is described in a tariff filed with FERC, effective January 1, 2023
RESERVE SHARING GROUP - The NWPP administers a program to operate a reserve sharing group for 31 members operating electric power systems with balancing authority areas in the Western Interconnection. This program comprises: a real-time software application that computes and allocates the pooled contingency reserve requirement to the participating authority areas, documentation of the program's compliance with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation ("NERC") BAL-002-3 - disturbance control reliability standard - contingency reserve for recovery from a balancing contingency event and BAL-002-WECC-3 - contingency reserve, and all associated audits and other related regulatory activities
Nwpp provides transmission planning services to member organizations to support their federal energy regulatory commision and nerc compliance obligations. Nwpp continues to facilitate northern grid regional transmission planning for 12 entities, as well as coordinate power flow base cases and study state and dynamic model validation for various members.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $3.5M to $6.3M (+82%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 0% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of NORTHWEST POWER POOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
