With the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP), Washington has advanced the Washington 2021 State Energy Strategy with an economy-wide roadmap that translates its ambitious climate targets into an actionable implementation framework.

CETI and Evolved Energy Research began working with the Washington Department of Commerce in April 2024 to develop economy-wide energy pathways scenarios that would achieve the state’s emission reduction goals, form the basis for Washington’s Comprehensive Climate Action Planning (CCAP), and meet Environmental Protection Agency Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) requirements.

In November 2025, the Oregon Department of Energy released the Oregon Energy Strategy, which identifies pathways to achieve the state’s energy and climate policy objectives. The CETI Team produced the energy modeling as well as the energy wallet, employment study, and additional complementary analyses that underpin the strategy.

This month, CETI demystifies siting and permitting pathways, shares new energy jobs visualizations, dives into Rapid Market Transformation, and much more.
