Clean Energy Partnership

The Pacific Northwest enjoys significant assets in the clean energy sector – a wealth of expertise, a radiant entrepreneurial spirit, a culture of environmental stewardship, and well developed public and private sector research capabilities.

The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) is leveraging these strengths to make our region a world-class hub of clean energy ideas and development, a leader in the creation of green jobs, and a home for high-growth clean technology companies.

The CEP does this through:

• Major initiatives and programs designed to assist Northwest clean energy companies in deploying their products to global markets
• A model that leverages public dollars with private investments and produces measurable returns. The CEP is pursuing seed funding through i6 Green, a national grant competition that focuses on the nexus between economic development and environmental quality.
• Providing annual analysis and reports on policy alignment; working to eliminate regulatory barriers that limit clean energy development.
• Unity and collaboration between key stakeholders.

This highly leveraged and collaborative initiative will enable the Pacific Northwest to take a leadership role in the development of clean energy solutions.
