If you care about clean and affordable energy, join the NW Energy Coalition today! The Coalition is an alliance of around 100 members in the Northwest that include environmental, consumer, civic, and human service organizations; utilities; clean energy and energy efficiency businesses, and many more individuals. The Coalition’s diverse and active membership makes it one of the Northwest’s most influential public-interest voices on energy policy.
By joining the NW Energy Coalition you are supporting a clean and affordable energy future.

We need your voice; the decisions we make today will have a lasting effect on policy in our region.
