Our Focus is on the Generation, Storage, and Delivery of Clean Electricity

Western Gas and Electric Company makes early-stage venture (angel)-capital investments in companies operating in the renewable energy fields. If you have a viable plan for a renewable energy-related enterprise but lack the necessary funding to get it started, we may be able to assist you.

We look to invest in renewable energy companies that start with a small team of very experienced and smart people who work well both together and autonomously with an intense focus on customer service and profitability. Our mission is to assist companies whose work will improve the environment and quality of life for everyone. We have the ability to differentiate between good business ideas that can lead to profitable companies and good business ideas that cannot.
