Our 2009-2010 Class was the first class to graduate from the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute. In our pilot program we held three Energy Institute classroom sessions held at the 2009 Summit in Boise, ID. Initial feedback from session participants was very positive. The second session was held in December 2009 during NCSL’s fall forum in San Diego, CA. In April 2010, 37 legislators graduated after the final session in Washington, D.C.

The current class of the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute began at the PNWER 21st Annual Summit in Portland, Oregon July 19-22, 2011. Because of the initial success of this pilot program, the program was authorized by the U.S.A. Department of Energy for five years and committed to by Partners PNWER, NCSL and the University of Idaho.
