Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP)

Washington’s consumer-owned utilities are required to complete the Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP) template by Jan. 1, 2022. The CEIP documents how a utility intends to comply with Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA)’s clean energy and equity requirements over the next four years and make progress towards the 2030 greenhouse gas neutral and 2045 greenhouse gas free standards.

As a tier 1 BPA customer, The PUD meets and exceeds the CETA requirement of using 80% or greater combined renewable and non-emitting resources for its retail load over the next four years and through 2030. However, to complete the equity requirements of the plan, the CEIP further requires the PUD to identify, through a public process, both vulnerable populations who might be affected by the costs and benefits of adopting CETA standards and indicators of costs and benefits incurred through the PUD’s adoption of CETA standards.

In accordance with the requirements of the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA), passed by the Washington State Legislature in the spring of 2019, the Jefferson County Public Utility District (JPUD) is publishing the adopted 2026-2029 CETA Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP) linked below.

The PUD completed the CEIP in December 2025 and submitted to the state on Dec 31st, 2025.

Washington’s Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) recognizes that certain communities—particularly overburdened and vulnerable populations—have historically experienced higher pollution exposure, poorer health outcomes, and fewer economic benefits from energy systems. Utilities are tasked with reporting on health disparities within their Clean Energy Implementation Plan (CEIP), to better understand where energy-related actions support improved air quality, reduced pollution-related illnesses, and overall community well-being.

A utility load forecast gives context for how future energy demand will affect clean energy planning, reliability, costs, and equity outcomes under the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA). The forecast helps understand expected changes in electricity use—such as growth from electrification, population shifts, or economic development—and how those changes influence resource needs.
