S. 182, also known as the "Northwest Energy Security Act," directs the operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) to follow a plan established in the "Columbia River System Operations Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision" from September 2020....

The Northwest Energy Security Act is a plan to keep the power from certain big dams in a river working smoothly and safely, but people in charge can make changes for safety reasons, while making sure they don't cut down on the amount of electricity the dams produce or stop boats from moving along the river.
