The Western Governors’ Association (WGA) represents the Governors of the 22 westernmost states and territories. WGA is an instrument of the Governors for bipartisan policy development, information exchange, and collective action on issues of critical importance to the West.
The 2026 WGA Chair initiative of Utah Governor Spencer Cox will focus on examining challenges and opportunities for expanding production, transmission, and storage options across the energy spectrum to unlock more reliable, secure, and affordable energy to meet growing demand and achieve energy abundance across the West.
This survey is intended to help WGA design the initiative by identifying: (1) priority issues for gubernatorial leadership, including regulatory, technical, economic, and market opportunities for states to support energy abundance efforts; (2) best practices for developing energy resources and infrastructure in the West; (3) federal policy issues for potential WGA advocacy and; (4) individuals or organizations interested in participating in this initiative, including workshops and webinars.
If you are interested in financially supporting the 2026 WGA Chair initiative, please contact Sarah Olsen, WGA Director of Development ([email protected]).
