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. PacifiCorp is committed to an open, transparent, and accessible process to ensure that the transition to renewable and non-carbon-emitting electricity milestones in Washington are achieved equitably among its Washington customers and communities.

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. PacifiCorp 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 PacifiCorp’s Washington service territory, 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:
PacifiCorp's 2022 CEIP Public Participation Plan
Clean Energy Implementation Plan
Workpapers
Comments
As part of the public participation plan of the CEIP, PacifiCorp 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.
Public Participation and Advisory Group Meetings
Throughout the development of the 2022 CEIP, PacifiCorp will seek and incorporate feedback from members of the public in Washington, as well as through PacifiCorp’s advisory group process. This feedback will inform the company’s specific actions, interim and specific targets, customer benefit indicators, and other aspects of PacifiCorp’s clean energy plan.
Additionally, PacifiCorp has assembled an Equity Advisory Group to help inform and advise the company on which issues are most important to the communities we serve in Washington, with a focus primarily on the establishment of Customer Benefit Indicators as part of development of the CEIP.

En mayo de 2019, el gobernador del estado de Washington, Jay Inslee, firmó la aprobación de la Ley de Transformación a Energías Limpias (Clean Energy Transformation Act, CETA) que se aplica a todos los servicios públicos de energía eléctrica para clientes minoristas de Washington y establece hitos específicos a llevar a cabo para lograr el 100% de suministro de energía eléctrica limpia requerido. PacifiCorp está comprometida a seguir un proceso abierto, transparente y accesible para asegurar que la transición a la energía eléctrica de fuentes renovables y sin emisiones de carbono en Washington se logre equitativamente entre sus clientes y comunidades de Washington.
