What is LEHI?
Since its inception in 2009, the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute (LEHI) is designed to educate state and provincial legislators and policymakers on the North American energy infrastructure and delivery system. The Institute's comprehensive curriculum helps policymakers understand how energy systems and infrastructure work, how energy infrastructure is build and financed, and the regulation and market impacts on energy infrastructure.
Over 300 legislators and policymakers have graduated from the class over the past decade, and participants continue to give the Institute positive feedback, rating it as one of the best legislative policy education programs in North America. With major support from the U.S. Department of Energy and Government of Canada, and world-class faculty from academia, industry, and government, the Institute seeks to bring together diverse viewpoints and ensure a well-rounded learning experience. The Institute is a two-part program with the first session taking place at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory campus in Richland, WA, in the summer, and the second session taking place in Washington, D.C. in the fall. Graduates of the Institute receive a certificate on energy policy planning through the University of Idaho. |
