Commerce posts 2020 fuel mix disclosure reports
Commerce has published the Washington electric utility 2020 fuel mix disclosure reports on the Fuel Mix Disclosures webpage.
The fuel characteristics disclosure (RCW 19.29A) requires Washington utilities to disclose to their customers the mix of fuels used to generate the electricity sold to them in the previous year. Utilities must release the information – similar to a content label on a food product – to new customers and post the information on their public websites.
The disclosure must show the percentage of electricity by fuel type, such as coal, hydroelectricity, natural gas, nuclear, wind, and solar. If the utility does not know the source of some electricity, it must label that portion as “unspecified source.”
Below is a breakdown of Washington's 2020 combined fuel mix. For complete details, read the 2020 Fuel Mix Disclosure report.
