To support these offerings, Tacoma Power is buying green power from the Bonneville Power Administration.  The green power is marketed by the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, which was established in September 1998, to provide the Pacific Northwest with a new tool for realizing its environmental goals in the two critical areas of renewable resource development, and watershed restoration.

BEF’s power is approved as green power by several environmental groups including the Northwest Energy Coalition, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Renewable Northwest Project.
