Clean Energy Siting Council
In partnership with the state Department of Commerce, we are leading a group of state agencies to identify actions to improve siting and permitting of clean energy projects in Washington.
The Clean Energy Siting Council meets monthly to identify policy-level issues, coordinate among agencies, and discuss options for improving permitting processes. The council does not make decisions on specific projects. Instead, it is a coordination council and develops annual legislative reports with recommendations. Agendas and meeting notes are posted regularly on this page.
Council objectives
The council tracks efforts to improve how clean energy projects are sited in Washington and supports planning and interagency coordination for clean energy facilities. The council also develops annual reports with recommendations for the Washington Legislature.
Annual report
The council's annual legislative report documents its recommendations to improve siting and permitting clean energy projects in Washington state. Annual reports are due to the Legislature by October 1.
Engagement
One of our goals is to promote understanding, awareness, and visibility into the council's work. We asked Tribes and interested parties how they would like to participate and used that input to develop an Interested Parties Engagement Plan.
Opportunities for input
| Spring | Workshop with updates and to hear issues and ideas |
| Summer | Draft recommendation topics shared for comment, question and answer session |

Information on dates for future meetings will be posted here.
