As we move towards a low carbon future, we remain focused on creating a fair and competitive industry that delivers low cost, reliable power to the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

“Power Together”

  • September 12-14, 2021
  • Alderbrook Resort & Spa, Union, WA

The theme of this year’s conference is “Power Together.” Given Covid-19 vaccination rates and state reopening plans, we anticipate that we will once again be able to convene at Alderbrook Resort, the longtime home of our event.

We continue to monitor the rules governing group gatherings, and if necessary are prepared to convert the meeting to a virtual event, as we did in 2020, but we are hopeful that we will be able to meet in person.

We will post updates on our website and send emails to registrants as we get closer to the event.
