Overview
The Western Clean Energy Campaign coordinates efforts in the western United States to oppose the construction of new coal plants and close existing ones. It works with local partner groups to build coalitions, engage reporters and opinion leaders, and coordinate grassroots efforts to close coal plants. The Campaign aims to win approval from state regulators to close five of the largest power plants in the Intermountain West by 2015.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Mosaic initiative
This grant supports Mosaic, a project of the Tides Center, in its efforts to strengthen the infrastructure of the environmental community by investing in communications, leadership development, tools and training, field knowledge, and relationship-building between organizations and communities. (Substrategy: Build the Conditions for Enduring Conservation)
for the Open Contracting Partnership project
The Open Contracting Partnership engages governments and nongovernmental groups to establish and implement new global standards for transparency and broad participation in public contracting. The new standards will require that governments and companies disclose more contracts, that the information in the contracts is easily accessible and presented in user-friendly formats, and that citizens have opportunities to monitor contract award and execution processes. In addition to encouraging others to create and adopt these new norms, with this grant the Partnership would support country-level application of the principles and would facilitate learning among countries to ensure greater effectiveness in the use of public resources.
