Unlocking Transmission Buildout in the Pacific Northwest
The future of clean energy depends on a robust, modern transmission grid that can deliver clean power where it's needed most. Despite ambitious climate goals, Washington and Oregon rank surprisingly low in clean energy deployment due to critical transmission bottlenecks that prevent new clean resources from reaching the grid. Join infrastructure policy experts as they discuss the state-level transmission investments, regulatory reforms, and collaborative partnerships that are critically needed to accelerate transmission infrastructure development. This expert panel will explore how strategic transmission planning is unlocking clean energy potential, creating economic opportunities, and building the backbone of our energy economy.

Randy Hardy - Hardy Energy Consulting, former Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Administrator
