Nimiipuu Energy is a utility cooperative that uses alternative energy sources to work toward energy independence and not rely on energy from the Snake River Dam.

History
In 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration agreed to a 10-year partnership with Pacific Northwest Tribes and states to restore wild salmon populations. This partnership expands Tribal clean energy production. This agreement includes the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs, and Yakama Tribes.

In order to restore the salmon population, some believe that dam breaching is necessary. Dam removal is opposed by Washington State Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Idaho Falls Representative Mike Simpson supports dam breaching.
