Resource Planning
Planning for the future is very important to us. We work hard to ensure that our power supply meets customer needs at the lowest reasonable cost. Every two years, we report our projected load and resources to the Washington State Department of Commerce. Commerce collects this information from all Washington electric utilities and creates a resource plan summary for the State legislature.
City Council approved the 2024 Resource Plan through Resolution 2024-93 on August 7, 2024.
