August was exceptionally productive as the CETI team pushed hard to finish multiple projects with end-of-the-summer deadlines.

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

The summer is flying by. The CETI Team is working hard to stay on track with our many projects, as well as get into the mountains and out onto the water as much as possible to appreciate what we are trying so hard to protect and preserve.

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.

Since last month’s update, the CETI team has been out and about in three of the four Northwest states for a variety of clean energy activities.

This month, Eileen explains why decarbonizing buildings is so important to hit Washington’s emissions reduction goals and how SCALE 2030 aims to produce an analytical roadmap to drive the systemic changes needed for the state’s building sector ecosystem to deliver a rapid ramp-up of electrification by 2030.
