Chehalis Generation Facility

In March 1997, Governor Locke approved the original site certification agreement (SCA) for the Chehalis Generation Facility. The facility proposed a total generating capacity of 460 megawatts (MW). In March 2001, Governor Locke approved the first amendment to the SCA allowing an increase in generating capacity from 460 MW to 520 MW. Construction began in May 2001, and commercial operations started on June 2003. In September 2008, EFSEC transferred the SCA to PacifiCorp, amending the SCA for a second time. The sale of the Chehalis Generating Facility to PacifiCorp was completed on September 15, 2008.
