CONTACT INFORMATION
The UTC and the Washington State Department of Commerce co-host resource adequacy meetings to help ensure Washington has a reliable and affordable electricity supply.
Resource adequacy means having enough electricity available to meet customer needs at all times, even during extreme weather. The UTC and Commerce bring together utilities, regional planners, other experts, and the public to discuss how to plan for future electricity demand, improve coordination, and make sure the state has the power it needs.
State law (RCW 19.280.065) requires the UTC and Commerce to hold at least one of these meetings every year. Topics include electricity demand and supply, how utilities are working together to keep the grid reliable, and steps being taken to prepare for the future. A summary of each meeting is sent to the governor and Legislature within 60 days.

Washington’s Resource Adequacy Efforts
Washington’s electricity system is undergoing significant changes as the state transitions to 100% clean energy under the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA). The UTC and Commerce play a critical role in ensuring that utilities can provide sufficient electricity while meeting clean energy mandates.
