The Port Townsend Paper plant, located in Jefferson County, Washington, is a hybrid power plant owned and operated by Port Townsend Paper Co. The facility commenced operations in 1982 and has a total capacity of 7.9 MW across two generators. The plant utilizes both conventional hydroelectric and wood/wood waste biomass technologies, with the primary fuel source being black liquor (BLQ).
The plant operates within the Bonneville Power Administration balancing authority and the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) NERC region. In the most recent year with available data, the Port Townsend Paper plant generated 2,625 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 3.8%. The plant's relatively small size results in a ranking of 3 out of 3 similar plants in Washington state, and 66 out of 66 nationally.

This plant's balancing authority participates in CAISO's Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). Direct nodal pricing data is not yet available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
