Clean Energy Transformation Act rulemaking continues

The Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) commits Washington to an electricity supply that’s free of greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Clean electricity will allow the state to replace fossil fuels in other end uses (especially transportation) and achieve its long-term climate goals.

The Department of Commerce produced Phase One Proposed Rules to implement the new law and will continue to update stakeholders through the CETA rulemaking website.

The next Commerce workshop on CETA will be on January 16 and will cover the methodologies for incorporating social cost of greenhouse gas emissions in utility planning, evaluation, and acquisition.
