Tacoma Power is a public electric utility and a division of Tacoma Public Utilities, with a long history as one of the nation's oldest public utilities. It operates six divisions—Transmission and Distribution, Generation, Rates, Planning and Analysis, Power Management, Utility Technology Services, and Click! Network—and serves more than 166,000 customers in Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest, and portions of Fife, Lakewood, Federal Way, and other areas of Pierce County as far south as Roy. The utility emphasizes reliable service, competitive rates, and innovative solutions, built on ongoing investments in infrastructure and technology. These strengths position Tacoma Power as a regional provider within the broader electric and municipal services landscape. Based in Tacoma, Washington, Tacoma Power is part of a municipal system that serves multiple communities in Pierce County. In 2023, the utility contracted GE Vernova's Hydro Power division to refurbish two turbine and generator units at Cushman II, reflecting ongoing modernization of its hydroelectric assets.
