The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) requires Ecology to allocate allowances at no cost to qualifying electric utilities for the purposes of mitigating the cost burden of the Cap-and-Invest Program.
The revised electric utility allowance allocation schedule and supporting calculations are posted on the no-cost allowance allocation webpage. This document replaces the information previously posted on the webpage for vintage 2025 and vintage 2026 by Ecology.
The revised schedule incorporates the asset-controlling supplier emission factors approved by Ecology for data year 2025, which are separately published by Ecology.
Revised allocation information has also been sent directly to each utility, along with information about the appeals process, as required by law.
Public meeting on allocation
Ecology will host a meeting on Oct. 16, 2024 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to provide an overview of the method and updates for calculating no-cost allowance allocation for electric utilities. The meeting will be recorded and posted on the no-cost allowance allocation webpage.
