As background, Governor Inslee signed the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) into law in 2019. CETA established milestones for utilities to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2030 and carbon free by 2045. Benton PUD’s electricity supply is already over 90% carbon free primarily due to hydroelectric and nuclear power.
 
The first milestone requires a utility to prepare and publish a four-year CEIP by January 1, 2022.  The plan will address specific targets for energy efficiency, demand response and renewable energy, and actions to ensure an equitable transition to the state’s clean energy goals.

A presentation of the draft and final CEIP will be made to the commission this fall.
