The Institute for Western Energy's mission is to address complex challenges at the intersection of energy production, environmental sustainability, and economic development in the Western United States. Through collaboration, strategic partnerships, and nonpartisan engagement, the Institute seeks to advance solutions to modernize energy infrastructure, promote grid reliability, and explore policies that support job creation and reducing emissions. 

 

Our initiatives, including the Western Energy Caucus and Western Power Players, bring together diverse stakeholders—including policymakers, labor, industry leaders, academics, and nonprofit experts—to foster meaningful dialogue, develop forward-thinking policies, and create actionable strategies that strengthen the West's energy landscape.

 

We are committed to:

​

• Promoting reliable and affordable energy systems

• Supporting integrated transmission infrastructure

• Developing policy frameworks for a modern energy economy

• Facilitating cross-sector collaboration and bipartisan problem-solving
