CETI’s October newsletter highlights our impact in the region, continued work on Oregon’s Energy Strategy, updates to the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas, a series of infographics that demystify electricity, and an upcoming webinar on emissions accounting.

Ruby and Eileen presented Idaho-specific findings from CETI’s Net-Zero Northwest study to the Idaho Climate Forum.

As part of our Demystifying Decarbonization project, CETI’s 2024 Summer Intern, Richa Nevatia, created three infographics to explain what electricity is, how it is measured, how it gets from a generation facility to homes, businesses, or industrial facilities, and what it means for it to be behind-the-meter.

Ruby presented on a panel about electrification and decarbonization at the Washington State 2024 Solar Summit.

As utilities look to meet higher electricity demand driven by increased electrification and data center growth, a day-ahead market could be a key tool to maintaining low-cost, reliable power. In the Northwest, utilities are considering two different day-ahead markets. This blog dives into the two options that Northwest utilities are weighing.

With Northwest utilities considering changing how they buy and sell power, it is a great time to understand our current system and various electricity market options. This blog explores four different types of market organization relevant to the Northwest.

In June, CETI was hard at work on projects in Oregon and Washington, dug into issues around transmission, welcomed a familiar face back to the team, and secured some exciting foundation grants.

Research Analyst Jeanne Currie takes a deep dive into transmission – what it is, why it matters for the clean energy transition, and how a more effective, centralized process for transmission planning could help the Northwest achieve decarbonization.

ACORN Fellow, Will Kammin, describes the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas’ new interactive energy visualizations and connections to his master’s thesis on the development of offshore wind energy along the U.S. Pacific Coast.

The CETI team presented the key findings from our Net-Zero Northwest Workforce State Analysis to individuals from all four Northwest states.

In the first installment of CETI's 'Demystifying Decarbonization' series, Eileen explains the five pillars of deep decarbonization and how they interact with one another.
