Organizational Membership

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 envision a future that doesn’t rely on risky fossil fuels, but instead invests in cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy power, a future where low-income families do not have to choose between heating and eating. We need your voice; the decisions we make today will have a lasting effect on policy in our region.

Organizational membership

The Coalition is regionally known for effectively advocating sustainable energy policies and strengthening our around 100 member groups with staff support and the full political weight of the Coalition’s membership.
