The West has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create the nation’s most advanced energy market that would keep electricity affordable and reliable while preserving Western states’ independence and priorities. With the newly authorized and incorporated Regional Organization for Western Energy (ROWE), utilities in the West can now participate in a regional energy market with fully independent and Western-based governance, removing a long-standing barrier to a shared vision for the region.
This timely webinar showcased Advanced Energy United’s report, “A Pathway to a West-wide Energy Market: Affordability, Reliability, and Choice.” Panelists included leading advanced energy companies poised to expand their offerings in a broader Western market. Attendees learned what the evolving market landscape means for Western states, utilities, and ratepayers, explored the risks of a bifurcated market, and understood the opportunities for industry members to engage in shaping a unified, uniquely Western energy market.
