Through a partnership with University of Washington researchers, CETI developed The Sun Also Rises in Washington, a project that explores the role of community-scale solar in Washington's clean energy future.

'The Sun Also Rises in Washington' explores the benefits of community-scale solar and highlights example projects throughout the state through a series of interactive visualizations.

Ruby and Jeanne presented about CETI to an energy policy class at the University of Washington.

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.

The Oregon Energy Strategy made its debut on November 10, 2025, 20 months after the CETI team began providing technical and economic analysis to support the Oregon Department of Energy.

As Northwest utilities decide to participate in day-ahead electricity markets, the landscape of western power markets takes shape.

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

Siting and permitting rules are designed to protect communities, ecosystems, cultural and natural resources, and public health, but dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s can cause delays and increase costs. Striking the right balance between responsible land use and rapid development of clean energy resources has emerged as one of the region’s most pressing issues.

Rapid Market Transformation identifies the technologies required to transition the building sector and implements strategies to ensure that building owners and tenants in Washington can access these technologies easily at cost-competitive price points.

Research Analyst Ruby Moore-Bloom presented on a panel, Deconstructing Community Solar in WA for Broader Adoption, at the 2025 Washington State Solar Summit.

As previous CETI research shows, the clean energy transition has the potential to bring job growth to the Northwest. At the same time, there will likely be job displacement in fossil fuel-related fields. Tracking energy workforce trends from year to year allows us to see how the transition is unfolding and where support is needed to make it equitable.

Jeanne presented SCALE 2030 key findings at the 2025 Green Building Slam.

This month, we celebrate two legislative wins in California alongside updates on the Oregon Energy Strategy, our building decarbonization work, and the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas.

In this piece, Ruby explores strategies to protect ratepayers from bearing the cost of the infrastructure and transmission investments needed to support data center growth in the Northwest and highlights a policy to that effect that passed in Oregon’s 2025 session

A coordinated approach focused on building performance in policy, programs, and tracking can support Washington’s energy, equity, and climate goals.

Tracing the Draft Oregon Energy Strategy from start to finish.

As the days shorten and the leaves begin to fall, CETI is working on our evolving theory of change and goals for the next year and beyond.

In a new set of visualizations, we present data onWashington and Oregon’s electricity utility resources and their greenhouse gas emissions.

This Deep Dive explores key characteristics of green banks, explains the role they can play in clean energy financing, and introduces the recently established Washington State Green Bank.

The Oregon Department of Energy hosted a public webinar to share draft policy recommendations and jobs analysis results from the Oregon Energy Strategy.

Jeanne Currie and Poppy Storm present an overview of SCALE 2030 to the Bellevue 2030 District.

July brought the passage of the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB),” one focus of which is to derail the United States’ pursuit of a clean energy.
