Missoula being the place it is, more and more people/businesses are using solar. Other than that I am not sure. It is probably from a coal generator east of us in the state.

In my hometown they have finally installed more than one windmill. :)

Nuclear near by.
And coal.
Very little alternative.

Power comes from local utility and what they buy on grid. Up to about 10%, some times of the year, will be coming from dams in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Most of the rest comes from steam generating stations burning natural gas, including one in San Francisco, several in Antioch to the east, and two south at Moss Landing. Some power comes from a nuclear plant, Diablo Canyon, and some from wind turbines around Altamont Pass to the east.

dams

In Helena the electric power is generated by water turbines from the Missouri River. There are some small solar power projects (personal) as well as wind.

Electric power in my area is primarily from hydroelectric dams located on the Missouri River. Some power, however, is imported from other states as a result of deregulation. Local power companies find it more cost advantageous to export cheap local power at high prices and import the power we locals get to use. Makes no sense!

The Philippines has NPC to supply most of its electricity while MERALCO does most of the distribution for Metro Manila.

The list of power plants can be seen here:

The nearest power plant in Manila is the Batangas Coal - Fired Thermal Power Plant in Calaca, Batangas:

Local coal-fired power plants.
The coal comes from Wyoming.

The outlets in the walls.

Power in this area comes from multiple generating plants attached to a larger grid. The exact plants vary, depending on economics and what contracts are in place at the time.

Hydro-electric, coal, wind, nuclear, solar. At any given time, we may have one or more of these.

That's all I know.

Some time ago, a local coal fired powerstation was decommissioned. After much discussion over its replacement, and blindly ignoring a large local lobby for a clean waste incinerator. The council chose... oil.

Natural gas powered plant about 3 miles from here.

Call the information number on your electric bill and ask.

There are a number of dams which generate power, plus, south of here is a petroleum producing area where natural gas is used to generate power. Also, there are a few facilities which use agricultural by-products, like almond hulls, used in co-generation plants.

However, as we found out a few years ago, the national grid controls much of our power supply.

1. Ring the local utility company
2. Ask a school kid, or a teacher
3. Ask a politician

PSE&G, although I'm pretty sure I don't know the location of the generator. I know we have nuke power to the south, but we're probably customers of a NJ-based generator.
