WIEB is a collaborative organization that unites 11 western states and two western Canadian provinces, established in 1970 as an Instrumentality of the States to foster cooperative energy efforts and strengthen the West's economy. It supports member jurisdictions by analyzing current and emerging energy trends, opportunities, and challenges, and by enabling engagement and collaboration on energy policy issues. Its member jurisdictions include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta, and British Columbia. Based in Denver, Colorado, WIEB operates within government administration and maintains a small team that coordinates policy work among its members. In 2020, Mitsubishi Power Systems partnered with WIEB to launch an initiative to develop hydrogen infrastructure in the western United States, in collaboration with the Green Hydrogen Coalition.
