WCEC's letter to the WUTC asking the Commission to publish a process and timeline to finalize Puget Sound Energy's Clean Energy Implementation Plan after Order 10 declined to consolidate the CEIP and rate case dockets.
A WCEC public-facing summary of two recommended changes to Puget Sound Energy's Clean Energy Implementation Plan — faster demand reduction and clean energy conversion, plus updated climate-aware forecasting — distributed ahead of the March 2, 2022 WUTC public comment deadline.
WCEC's comments to the WUTC on Puget Sound Energy's Draft CEIP question the company's unexplained 50% derate of estimated peak reduction from its Time Varying Rate pilot programs.
WCEC and Vashon Climate Action Group's filing with the WUTC argues Puget Sound Energy's Customer Benefit Indicator scoring in its Draft Clean Energy Implementation Plan is biased toward the company's business interests, particularly through scoring choices that systematically disfavor substation batteries.
MixedPSE met with WCEC members to discuss scoring methods and considered our detailed feedback.
Fifteen-organization coalition urges the WUTC to reject Puget Sound Energy's Clean Energy Implementation Plan, arguing PSE's resource planning relies on 88 years of historical temperature data and fails to model heat waves, drought, and reduced wind under climate change.
WinAlthough the WUTC did not reject the plan, the commisioners later required PSE to update climate modeling to account for climate change. This impacted peak demand calculations in both summer and winter seasons.
