The government bought electricity from the local power company
What happened
A federal agency awarded a contract to Puget Sound Energy. This means the government will pay the local utility for electricity distribution.
Why it matters
This is a routine contract for basic utility services. It does not change how electricity is delivered, priced, or regulated. It is simply the government paying for power like any other customer.
The signal
There is nothing new to watch here. This is a standard operational expense.
