The Sierra Nevada Region is one of five offices in the Western Area Power Administration.

SNR markets power in northern and central California, and portions of Nevada, to wholesale customers and Federal end-use 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. (Learn More >> About SNR)
