UTC Clean Energy Bulletin

New workshops, rulemakings, and upcoming dates

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission invites the public to participate in its work to implement Washington’s 2019 clean energy legislation 

The 2019 Clean Energy Transformation Act requires electric utilities to transition to a carbon-neutral supply of electricity by 2030 and source 100% of their electricity from renewable or non-carbon-emitting sources by 2045.  

Over the next two years, the commission will conduct numerous rulemakings, workgroups, and other proceedings to implement these changes along with other energy legislation enacted during the 2019 session. 

New announcements 

  • Tuesday’s Incremental Cost Requirements workshop has been rescheduled as a webinar-only workshop. Parties may participate by telephone, but participation by computer will make it easier to facilitate the discussion. The commission will not host an in-person meeting space. The meeting begins at 9 a.m.
