This week is your last opportunity to reserve a spot on our Made in Washington Study Mission.

Join us this September 17th to 20th, as we explore multiple clean energy projects East of the Cascades.

Ever since the massive Grand Coulee Dam began operations in 1942, Eastern Washington has been a clean energy powerhouse. Today, Eastern Washington is brimming with innovative projects that will define the clean energy landscape of the 21st century. The itinerary for our Clean & Prosperous Institute Made in Washington Study Mission offers delegates a unique glimpse of the future.

On the Made in Washington Study Mission, you’ll see:

  • Inside the Sila Nanotechnologies plant and learn about Sila’s battery storage solutions; followed by an evening dinner cruise on the Columbia River


  • Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), working to help develop a smart power grid that meets the complex challenges of the future

  • The Columbia Generating Station, the northwest’s only commercial nuclear energy facility, as Washington is leading the next generation of nuclear energy development (and chasing China’s lead in developing high-tech nuclear power)

  • Spokane’s South Landing EcoDistrict, including the Catalyst Building, Morris Center, and Avista’s R&D center

  • BrightNight’s Hop Hill Renewable Power Project which uses agrivoltaics and combines renewable solar energy and battery storage to complement Eastern Washington’s existing hydro and nuclear resources

This trip will coincide with the release of an upcoming Climate Commitment Act economic analysis report, so we’ll have lots to talk about! And you’ll have excellent company on this trip, as our delegation will be composed of clean energy crusaders from business, non-profits, and government agencies.
