Research and community for Cascadia's energy future

Ridgeline Collaborative is an independent organization producing rigorous, accessible analysis of the Pacific Northwest's energy transition — and building community around the people doing the work. We translate the forces reshaping our electricity system into research that policymakers, advocates, and the public can act on, and we bring people together to figure out what comes next.

What we're working on

Paper forthcoming

PNW Energy Reckoning

A comprehensive analysis of three interlocking crises facing the Pacific Northwest electricity system — demand growth, institutional fragmentation, and the clean energy transition.
