Public Comment
Hearing for Sale of Coal-Fired Power Plant
Energy is essential for communities. As your local energy
provider, we are committed to delivering the cleaner energy future our
customers want, while also maintaining the reliability and affordability
our customers expect.
To that end, we have filed a request with the Washington
Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to sell our portion of Unit
4 of the Colstrip Power Plant. Colstrip Unit 4 and the Colstrip
Transmission System are owned jointly by PSE and four other utilities and
are both located in southern Montana.
The sale of our share of Colstrip Unit 4 will eliminate
nearly 50 percent of coal from our generation resource mix. It's a key
step in meeting the requirements of Washington's Clean Energy
Transformation Act (CETA). Under CETA, PSE will be coal-free by 2025,
have a carbon-neutral electric system by 2030, and have 100% clean
electricity by 2045.
Customers are
invited to learn more and attend an upcoming virtual public comment
hearing. For more information and how to participate, visit pse.com/pages/rates/news-and-filings.
