TWTC Communities

The Voice for Transmission in the West

Our Purpose

TWTC Communities is a not-for-profit entity designed by its Board, members, and supporters to empower communities, energizing the West.

Balance

Why we’ve joined forces

The West’s vast and unique geography has long presented challenges and opportunities for energy transmission. The current grid, though built on a remarkable foundation, must evolve to meet the demands of a growing population and changing resource mix. TWTC Communities is a not-for-profit entity focused on fostering voluntary, bottom-up collaboration among stakeholders that will facilitate building the grid the Western states need to meet our policy goals and client needs.

Our mission

TWTC Communities’ mission is to address the need to build inter-regional and inter-jurisdictional transmission infrastructure in the West. TWTC Communities’ grassroots, collaborative approach is what is required to tackle this challenge and ensure the long-term sustainability of our energy systems in the region, as well as ensure community buy-in and involvement in needed transmission projects.
