In 1994, a broad coalition of public-interest organizations and energy companies created the Renewable Northwest Project (RNP) to actively promote development of the region's untapped renewable resources. RNP has proven to be a forceful advocate for expanding solar, wind and geothermal energy in the Northwest.



The Renewable Northwest Project works for a clean energy future by:



- Working with local organizations and energy companies to get workable renewable projects in the ground



- Actively promoting policies that support renewable energy development



- Encouraging utilities and customer groups to invest in new renewables



- Nurturing the development of a market for renewables.
