The Wells Dam project in Washington State stands as a powerful example of clean, renewable hydropower in action. Olsson Electric partnered with Douglas County PUD to install five new transformers and update the Unit Motor Control Center (MCC), significantly upgrading the dam’s electrical infrastructure.
This major improvement enhances the facility’s ability to generate electricity with minimal environmental impact while supporting the region’s energy needs. Olsson’s strong emphasis on safety and ability to complete the project ahead of schedule were key factors in the project’s success.
With features like innovative fish bypass systems and community-focused operations, Wells Dam continues to deliver reliable, low-cost power while upholding a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable resource management.
