A sneak-peak of key insights from our SCALE 2030: Clean Buildingss Ecosystem Assessment report, which examines Washington’s current building stock, energy use, and emissions.

We dive deep into key findings from a study and report assessing the economic impact and public opinion toward clean energy development in the Washington's rural communities.

In the past several years, geothermal has emerged as a clean, firm resource with the potential to be scalable and cost-effective.

We explore the mix of utilities—including investor-owned, public utility districts, municipal utilities, Tribal utilities, and cooperatives—that make up the Northwest’s electric utility landscape.

Recently, the EIA updated its method for calculating the energy contribution of noncombustible renewables, which include hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and wind energies.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting is a critical tool for governments, businesses, and climate advocates to understand progress toward emission reduction goals over time, but local, state, national, corporate, and global methods use varying types of accounting systems, which creates complexity.

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.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Jobs has contracted with BW Research since 2016 to produce information about national, state, and county-level energy jobs. CETI takes a deep dive into data relevant to the Northwest.

As we build out the electricity generation and the transmission infrastructure required to achieve a clean energy transition in the Northwest, we can avoid perpetuating past harms from fossil fuel development and ensure that renewable energy development provides benefits for host communities.

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.

This blog explores data about heating fuel and housing characteristics presented in interactive visualizations on CETI’s Northwest Clean Energy Atlas.
