Membership with RNW

Why Become a Member

Renewable Northwest (RNW) is the region’s only organization solely focused on advancing clean energy infrastructure. We’re member driven, and our influence is built on the direct expertise of our 90+ member organizations, including the leading renewable energy, storage, and transmission developers.

Influence

RNW is members’ voice where decisions get made. Our advocacy team is active in key state and regional proceedings every day, and our trusted relationships with policymakers, regulators, and utilities make sure member priorities are heard.

Expertise

Our policy and technical staff know the region’s regulatory landscape, markets, transmission, interconnection, and siting inside and out. We help members navigate the technical, political, and environmental challenges of bringing projects online, and keep them ahead of what’s coming.

Engagement

Membership keeps you in the loop with regular staff calls, written updates and analysis, and one-on-one coordination to align strategies. Members also connect with peers at in-person events, including our flagship fall retreat at Skamania Lodge in the Columbia River Gorge. When members raise a need, we respond, whether that’s an extra update call or a new work group.

Collaborative Problem Solving

The toughest problems live in the gray areas, where policy, markets, and communities intersect and no single perspective has the full answer. That’s where we do our best work.

Bringing People Together

We find answers by convening a wide spectrum of for-profit and nonprofit members, regulators, and fellow advocates through work groups, regulatory proceedings, and in-person events. Bringing those people together gives us the broad, inclusive perspective that lasting solutions need.
