Interwest Energy Alliance

Header

The Interwest Energy Alliance is a trade association that brings the nation's renewable energy industry together with the West's advocacy community. This consensus-based, collaborative approach to market development has proven to be successful since our inception in 2002. Together, our members support state-level public policies that harness the West's abundant "and inexhaustible" renewable energy and energy efficiency resources. Currently, our primary states of focus are Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Investments in wind, solar and other renewable energy technologies help generate tremendous new economic development opportunities in rural and agricultural areas of the country, enabling farmers, ranchers and landowners to grow reliable new "cash crops" that doesn't need water.

If you would like more information on renewable energy and how the West can realize tremendous economic and environmental benefits from renewable energy technologies, please review the information in this website, or contact the Interwest Energy Alliance for additional materials.
