Northwest power panel calls for conservation
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council released its plan in Portland for public comment.
The panel has representatives from Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington State.

The plan envisions that adopting more energy-efficient technology and practices could offset 85 percent of the demand for new electrical generation in the Northwest in the two decades ending in 2030.
