Big Bend Electric Co-op Acquires Land for Future Infrastructure Development
Big Bend Electric Co-operative has purchased 20 acres for $2 million to enhance its infrastructure in response to regional growth. This acquisition supports the expansion of the Port of Pasco's Reimann Industrial Center, increasing the utility's capacity to meet rising power demands.

Big Bend Electric Co-operative has acquired 20 acres of agriculturally-zoned property near West Vineyard Drive and North Railroad Avenue for $2 million. The co-op plans to construct a new electrical substation to address anticipated infrastructure needs as the Port of Pasco's Reimann Industrial Center expands.
With over 11,000 customers and 2,500 miles of power lines, Big Bend is responding to increasing power demand linked to regional development. The port is investing at least $20.8 million to expand Reimann, which has attracted significant industrial interest, including a facility by Darigold and plans from Cold Summit. This growth underscores the need for enhanced utility infrastructure.
