WA Clean Energy Laws Driving a 30% Rate Hike?
Published 19 hours ago
Description
Bill Gaines of the Alliance of Western Energy Consumers says Washington's Climate Commitment Act and Clean Energy Transformation Act are the primary drivers behind Puget Sound Energy's proposed 20 percent natural gas and 30 percent electricity rate increases. He argues the CCA cost-cap rules are broken, timelines are unrealistic, and $4.5 billion collected over 3.5 years has largely missed its carbon-reduction targets. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-in-support-of-honest-accountable-affordable-energy-policy/ #EnergyPolicy #WashingtonState #ClimateCommitmentAct #CETA #PugetSoundEnergy #UtilityRates #NaturalGas #CleanEnergy #Opinion #ClarkCounty
