ENERGY INNOVATION FOR THRIVING COMMUNITIES
Novara Energy Alliance brings people, ideas and investment together to solve the Inland Northwest’s most pressing energy challenges—turning innovation into real-world solutions that are resilient, affordable and built to scale.
What We Do
Turning complex challenges into real-world solutions.
The Inland Northwest must meet growing energy needs while maintaining reliability, protecting affordability, and strengthening resilience while integrating a rapidly changing mix of technologies and resources. These challenges cross organizational and jurisdictional boundaries. No utility, company, university, government or community can solve them alone.

- Define: Translate complex regional challenges into clear, actionable problem statements.
- Align: Bring together the organizations, expertise, infrastructure and community perspectives required to act.
- Develop: Form accountable innovation teams and build practical technical, regulatory, financial and workforce pathways.
- Demonstrate: Test solutions in real-world operating environments and evaluate customer, system, community and economic value.
- Scale: Share evidence, attract investment, and help proven solutions expand across organizations and markets.
