Building the Western Grid of Tomorrow: A Legislator Briefing on the Western Transmission Expansion Coalition (WestTEC)

As demand for electricity grows and the West’s energy landscape evolves, regional transmission planning is becoming central to keeping the grid reliable, affordable, and resilient. Join members of the CSG West Energy & The Grid Committee for a virtual briefing with leadership from the Western Transmission Expansion Coalition (WestTEC).

Participants will learn about WestTEC’s work to study and plan for the West’s long-term transmission needs, hear how state perspectives inform that process, and explore ways legislators can engage to help shape a stronger regional grid. The session will include time for questions and discussion.

Who should attend: Western state legislators and legislative staff interested in energy, transmission, and grid reliability.
