About the Western Interstate Energy Board
WIEB is an organization of 11 Western States and 2 Western Canadian Provinces. The legal foundation for WIEB is the Western Interstate Nuclear Compact (Public Law 91-461). The governor of each state and the premier of each province appoints a member to the Board.
WIEB facilitates and promotes the cooperative energy policy efforts of its member U.S. states and Canadian provinces, including collaboration with the federal government. WIEB engages state and federal agency personnel and policy makers, regulated entities, industry experts, and other interested stakeholders in collaborative and ongoing discussions about key energy issues affecting the Western Interconnection. WIEB’s mission is to provide the instruments, framework, and technical support for cooperative state efforts to “enhance the economy of the West and contribute to the well-being of the region’s people.”
Much of the work of the Board is conducted through its committees: the High-Level Radioactive Waste Committee (HLRWC) and the Committee on Regional Electric Power Cooperation (CREPC). WIEB also provides staff support to the Western Interconnection Regional Advisory Body (WIRAB), the Western Energy Imbalance Market Body of State Regulators (WEIM-BOSR), the Western Resource Adequacy Program Committee of State Representatives (WRAP-COSR), the Markets+ State Committee (MSC), and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Transportation Technical Advisory Group (WIPP TAG).
