The Northwest Industrial Gas Users is a trade association
representing large volume end-users of natural gas with
major facilities in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
NWIGU is dedicated to representing its members' interests
before state, regional, and federal regulatory agencies
and policymakers, as well as providing an information
service to its members to make better energy management
decisions.
NWIGU functions by the following guiding principles:
-
Market forces should regulate competitive markets to the
benefit of all consumers, as with natural gas commodity
deregulation;
-
There is a necessary role for regulation of monopoly
utility distribution and pipeline transportation
services; and,
-
This regulation should support open access and
cost-based rates.

|
During the past two decades, the Northwest
Industrial Gas Users have provided leadership on
important energy issues that impact the Pacific
Northwest and have been a powerful voice - guiding
regional, state and federal government officials
toward a deeper understanding of the pivotal role of
natural gas in our economy.
