A Huge THANK YOU to Our Sponsors!

We’re deeply grateful to the exceptional organizations powering the 2025 WRECA Energy Summit. Your support drives two impactful days of connection, collaboration and progress for Washington’s public power community.

This year’s sold-out event would not be possible without our sponsors’ leadership and commitment to advancing public power across the state. Their support will be felt in every conversation, partnership and idea exchanged at the Summit.

Can’t join us this year? Mark your calendars! We’ll return to the Suncadia Resort for the 2026 WRECA Energy Summit, June 8–10. We look forward to seeing you there!

WRECA was in Washington DC to fight for public power, grid security and energy independence.

We had powerful conversations with members of Congress and key Senate offices about the future of public power in the Northwest.

From empowering the Bonneville Power Administration and defending our lower Snake River dams, to advancing nuclear innovation and securing our grid, the urgency was clear — and so was the support.

Huge thanks to the members of Congress and staff who took the time to meet with us: Representatives Michael Baumgartner, Dan Newhouse, Kim Schrier, Marilyn Strickland, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Emily Randall, Cliff Bentz, and Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray.
