QUICK FACTS
The Grand Coulee Dam on Washington's Columbia River is the largest hydroelectric power
plant in the United States by generation capacity, and can provide electricity
to 2.3 million households a year.

Washington is the top U.S. producer of electricity from hydroelectric sources and
routinely accounts for 25% of the nation's annual utility-scale net hydroelectricity
generation.

Although not a crude oil producing state, Washington has the fifth largest U.S.
oil refining capacity for making petroleum products with the ability to process
638,000 barrels of oil a day at the state's five refineries.

Just over one-half of Washington households rely on electricity as their primary
heating fuel and one-third of households depend on natural gas.

Because of the relatively low operating costs of hydroelectric power generation,
Washington had the nation’s second lowest average retail electricity price,
after Louisiana, in 2017.
