Koma Kulshan Project

The Koma Kulshan Project is a 12 MW run-of-the-river hydroelectric generation facility on the slopes of Mount Baker, a stratovolcano in Washington state's North Cascades. The project commenced commercial operation in October 1990, and is owned by Eagle Creek Renewable Energy via their Koma Kulshan A

ssociates subsidiary. It supplies Puget Sound Energy via a Power Supply Agreement (PSA) contract. Its single turbine is a Pelton wheel supplied by Sulzer Escher Wyss. Located in the Mount Baker National Forest, it is one of six Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-licensed small hydro installations on Federal Government land in Washington state. Koma Kulshan is the name of Mount Baker in the Lummi dialect. In 2022, the project was sold to Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, LLC.
