In May 2019, Washington state Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) that applies to all electric utilities serving retail customers in Washington and sets specific milestones to reach the required 100% clean electricity supply. We are committed to an open, transparent and accessible process to ensure the transition to renewable and non-carbon-emitting energy milestones are achieved equitably among Washington customers and communities.
If you have questions, feedback, or would like to be added to the distribution list for the Washington Clean Energy Implementation Plan, please email us at CEIP@PacifiCorp.com.
Passed in 2019, the Clean Energy Transformation Act sets ambitious clean energy targets for Washington’s energy future:
Along with these clean energy targets, utilities in Washington must ensure that its customers and communities are benefitting equitably from the transition to renewable energy. Pacific Power is leading this effort through its newly formed Equity Advisory Group (EAG) to ensure that the health, safety, and well-being of our customers and communities is included in the planning process.
The CEAP is part of PacifiCorp’s 20-year, long-term planning document, known as the Integrated Resource Plan or IRP, and provides a Washington-specific look at what resources may be added or retired from the state’s allocation of electricity over the next 10 years. Ensuring that the power grid can deliver electricity reliably, safely, and at the lowest cost possible often requires planning far in advance. The CEAP provides a way to look at the mix of resources PacifiCorp plans to serve its Washington customers and communities in the next ten years progressing toward a renewable energy and non-carbon-emitting energy future. In addition to listing potential investments in Pacific Power's Washington service area, the CEAP also includes an analysis of the health and well-being of the communities we serve, and how the company could help increase benefits and reduce impacts.
The CEIP is a near-term four-year action plan specific to Washington customers and communities that focuses on community-based actions to move toward meeting CETA's milestones. PacifiCorp’s first CEIP will be filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) no later than January 1, 2022, and will include:
The 2023 Clean Energy Implementation Plan Public Participation Plan is a biennial update of the first public participation plan and provides information on the various pathways that PacifiCorp has developed, or is in the process of developing, for its public engagement spaces, and utilizes feedback captured through its various public channels.

In collaboration with parties, Pacific Power developed its Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP) Customer Benefit Indicators (CBIs) to measure the benefits and impacts to its customers in Washington. In accordance with the approval and adoption of the Company’s first Clean Energy Implementation Plan multi-party settlement, Pacific Power incorporated its CBIs and metrics into a publicly accessible comprehensive report card that includes all metrics and baseline data that the Company reports to the Commission. Below is the Company’s CEIP CBIs Report Card as of December 2023.
As Pacific Power seeks direct stakeholder feedback to build an inclusive and accessible process for consultation and collaboration, it has begun to develop a tracker of this input and questions received in its community engagements. The Feedback Tracker includes the feedback, responses provided, and where applicable impact(s) or incorporation. The Feedback Tracker is at a point of time in the process, and it will continue to be updated as it develops further, and more collaboration is reflected upon.

As part of the public participation plan of the CEIP, Pacific Power conducted a survey from July 2 through August 10, 2021. The survey sought to gather customers’ feedback, priorities and preferences on the clean energy transition in order to better inform our planning efforts. This report presents the survey results and key findings.
Since the development of its 2022 CEIP, Pacific Power has sought to incorporate feedback from its customers as well as members of the public in Washington. In 2021, Pacific Power assembled an Equity Advisory Group to help inform and advise the company on issues most important to the communities we serve in Washington. The Washington Equity Advisory Group helped establish Customer Benefit Indicators, the company's specific actions, its interim and specific targets, as well as other aspects of its clean energy plan. Pacific Power continues to engage with its Equity Advisory Group and members of the public.
