US and Canada reach agreement in principle on Columbia River Treaty

Under the agreement announced by the Biden Administration on Thursday, the U.S. will immediately reduce by 37 percent the amount of Columbia Basin hydropower it delivers to Canada, with further cuts amounting to 50 percent by 2033. While the full details of the agreement are still under review, this cut to the "Canadian Entitlement" will ensure that more of the energy benefits of the Federal Columbia River Power System remain available to customers in the Northwest.
