Baker River Relicensing: About

Upper Baker

The Upper Baker Development was completed in 1959 and is located on the Baker River roughly eight miles north of Concrete, WA. A concrete gravity dam and an associated earthen embankment (West Pass dike) impound the Upper Baker reservoir. The Upper Baker powerhouse contains two generating units with a collective generation capacity of 105 MW. Baker Lake, the reservoir behind the Upper Baker dam, is about 9 miles long.
