2025 NWHA FALL REGIONAL WORKSHOP

September 25-26, 2025 Portland, OR
Hosted at PacifiCorp's Portland Office

In power markets, the “busbar” refers to the point where electricity enters the grid—representing the true cost of generation before transmission. Over two days, this workshop will explore how hydro providers can reduce those costs and deliver greater value to customers amid shifting market conditions. The agenda includes a hydropower project tour, real-time market demonstrations, utility-led panels, and collaborative sessions focused on cost drivers, regulatory updates, and operational efficiency. Enjoy a day and a half of educational content, peer networking, and an optional tour of Portland General Electric’s Willamette River hydro facility.
