Upcoming Workshops

Sept. 27 workshop to focus on “double counting”

The Sept. 27 joint workshop of Commerce and the Utilities and Transportation Commission’s (UTC) will focus on possible rules to prevent double counting when utilities use renewable energy credits (RECs) to comply with CETA. The law allows limited use of unbundled RECs, but only if “there is no double counting of any nonpower attributes … within Washington or programs in other jurisdictions.” Stakeholders submitted written of comments on this topic on June 14, 2021. Those comments are available on the CETA rulemaking webpage under stakeholder comments and on the UTC’s Docket UE-210183.

Commerce and the Utilities and Transportation Commission have postponed the joint rulemaking workshop scheduled for on Oct. 4 to allow for more time to develop draft rules on use. This topic and additional additional workshops will be scheduled  later this fall.
