Washington law (RCW 19.280) requires all electric utilities to create and regularly update resource plans. These plans help estimate how much electricity will be needed and what resources will be available to meet that demand over time. The goal is to ensure that utilities are planning ahead to provide reliable and cost-effective electricity. Every two years, utilities must share their plans or progress reports with the public and submit a summary of their estimated electricity needs for the next 10 years to Commerce.
The 2026 Energy Resource Plan (PDF) will be presented to the Board of Commissioners at the August 10, 2026 Board Meeting
