About Us

Established in 1995, WECP is a non-profit organization whose members are globally recognized as international energy capitals. These member cities actively seek and develop opportunities to learn, exchange and engage in activities to the mutual benefit of the partnership. WECP is bound by a co-operative agreement signed by the Mayors of each city, who serve as board members, is directed by an elected President and Vice-President, and supported by a Secretariat office, which is based in Houston, USA. WECP provides a worldwide network of industry support services and resources, and serves to facilitate business-to-business interaction, the sharing of industry knowledge, contacts and experiences, and partnerships in energy-related activities. The organization facilitates trade missions for local businesses to travel to member cities and capitalize on business development opportunities. WECP strives to continuously increase the stream of information flowing between its member cities. This unique partnership enables exchange beyond the energy industry and the exploration of opportunities for mutual development in a variety of strategic areas such as energy-related technology, education, food processing and marketing, environmental technology, medicine and bio-science, and tourism development. Additionally, WECP is the only organization that requires municipal government linkage, which advantageously allows for exchange of best practices in city administration and development opportunities.
