Electric utilities in Washington state are each required to develop a CEIP under the Clean Energy Transformation Act, passed in 2019
Clark Public Utilities is developing an updated Clean Energy Implementation Plan to guide clean energy actions, programs and investments from 2026 through 2029.
Electric utilities in Washington state are each required to develop a CEIP under the Clean Energy Transformation Act, passed in 2019. The law commits utilities to be greenhouse gas emissions-neutral by 2030 and greenhouse gas emissions-free by 2045 and includes provisions for affordability and reliability to help ensure shared benefits from the clean energy transformation.
Clark Public Utilities is committed to meeting CETA standards while continuing to prioritize affordability, reliability and excellent customer service.
The goal of the CEIP is to define specific methods and establish metrics to reach clean energy targets every four years. It addresses a variety of focus areas including, but not limited to, energy efficiency, demand response and resource adequacy.
Customers in Clark County can find further information about the law, the previous CEIP and public comment opportunities at clarkpublicutilities.com/ceta.
Clean Energy Implementation Plan comments
The public comment period on the 2026-2029 CEIP categories is open to September 12, 2025.
