OPALCO Launches Opt-In Renewable Energy Survey to Gather Member Input

Orcas Power & Light Cooperative (OPALCO) is inviting all members to participate in a newly launched Renewable Energy Survey designed to gather community insight on future energy programs, priorities, and opportunities. As OPALCO continues planning for a resilient, sustainable energy future, member feedback will play a critical role in shaping the cooperative’s long-term renewable energy strategy.

Members can take the survey online using the provided link or by scanning the QR code featured in OPALCO’s recent social media communications. To access the survey, participants will need their member number, which can be found by locating the first five digits of their OPALCO account number. Visual guides have been shared on social media as well to help members identify this number both in SmartHub and on their paper bills. For additional questions about member number or accessing the survey, email communications@opalco.com or call 360-376-3500.

OPALCO has partnered with a research firm, DHM, to conduct a member survey that will be open until December 12, 2025. OPALCO encourages all members to take a few minutes to share their thoughts. Those needing assistance accessing the survey or who are experiencing any technical issues with the survey can reach out to the help desk email: info@surveysinsight.com.
