⚡ Your electric company

Depending on where you live in Lakewood City: Bonneville Power Administration (public) or Peninsula Light Company (co-op (owned by its members)) or Puget Sound Energy Inc. (company) or Lakeview Light & Power (co-op (owned by its members)).

Big data centers need a lot of power. Who pays for new power lines depends on state rules. See the rules in Washington.
