Dedication

Net-Zero Northwest is dedicated to longtime Northwest utility leader Therese Hampton, who was chair of the Western Energy Imbalance Market Governance Review Committee at the time of her tragic death due to a bicycle accident in September 2022. Therese played a critical role in the early conception of the Net-Zero Northwest study and believed deeply in the value of collaborating to achieve an equitable and sustainable regional energy system.
