The Pacific Northwest Extension Energy Initiative was a pilot project to facilitate continuing interactions and dialog between the U.S. Department of Energy, Regional Associations of NASULGC institutions, and the state energy offices. Extension in four western states, Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, partnered to bring Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) information to broad audiences.

This website was created for Extension professionals to provide current information on energy programs and technical resources that are of interest to a variety of stakeholders.
