📰 News we're reading

• Levels of transparency vary widely for utility co-ops like PenLight (gigharbornow.org) — If you get power in Ames Lake from Tanner Electric Cooperative, your utility is one of the more transparent co-ops in Washington, posting board agendas, minutes, and fuel-mix details online. A new report compares that openness with more closed practices at Peninsula Light in Gig Harbor, raising broader questions about how member-owned utilities share information and involve ratepayers in big decisions.
