Northwest Transmission Summit

May 7 - May 8

Join the NW Energy Coalition

12pm-5pm Thursday May 7 & 9am-3pm Friday May 8

Boise, Idaho

Spring 2026 Northwest Transmission Summit: building towards our prosperous future 

Our region faces growing energy demands, changing climate patterns, and continued development of low-cost solar and wind power. We have a long history of interconnecting our region through a network of transmission lines to control costs, increase reliability, and integrate clean energy. As we reach the grid’s limits, it is time to reinforce and expand our system to meet our future needs. Come together to gain a shared understanding of the urgency of the need, identify key opportunities, and address historical barriers to site, pay for, and build new transmission resources while protecting community values. 

Join us for a reception from 5pm-7pm following the main conference on Thursday May 7th – location TBA.

 


If the ticket price is a barrier for you to attend, we have sponsorship, scholarship, and volunteer opportunities are available. Please contact elle@nwenergy.org for more info.

Panel topics will include:

  • A history of shared regional transmission
  • Barriers and solutions to timely and cost-effective transmission development
  • Identifying next steps to implement solutions

Join us as we move from plans to action.

NW Energy Coalition Members are encouraged to join us for the NWEC Member Meeting on May 7 from 9-11am MT / 8-10 PT at The Nature Conservancy’s Boise office (a short walk from the Boise Centre), prior to the main event. There will be a hybrid option for the Member Meeting.
