SNAP: The Sustainable Natural Alternative Power Program
Please contact Jim White prior to installing your solar panels for details.
Sustainable Natural Alternative Power (SNAP) is the name of Chelan County PUD’s award-winning renewable energy program. Started in 2001, the SNAP program is designed to help make small-scale solar and wind power more cost-effective for customers. The program connects customers who want to produce solar and wind power with other local customers who want to support the development of new, renewable energy.
Under the program, customers voluntarily pay a little extra on their utility bills. The PUD collects these customer donations and distributes them once a year to our SNAP producers -- individuals, schools and nonprofit agencies that are generating solar and wind power. SNAP renewable energy either is consumed by the producer through net metering, or goes into the PUD’s electrical grid and is distributed to PUD customers.
