The Sierra Nevada Region (SNR) is one of four regions of the
Western Area
Power Administration.
SNR sells power in northern and central California, and portions of Nevada, to wholesale
customers such as towns, rural electric cooperatives, public utility and irrigation districts, Federal, state, and
military agencies, Native American tribes, investor-owned utilities, power marketers, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
customers.
Electric companies get their power, for consumers like you, from a variety of sources.
Those sources include wholesale power providers such as Western, purchases and exchanges
from neighboring utilities, and their own generation.
Sierra Nevada employees work around the clock to keep bulk power moving through the
transmission system so that electricity ultimately reaches your home or business.
