As the chaos emanating from our nation’s capital continues to confound, the Clean Energy Transition Institute team is holding steady with a clear focus on the many projects we’re working on in 2025 that advance clean energy solutions in the Northwest.

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.

As tides shift in the federal government, CETI remains committed to our mission in the Northwest.

Before we share our direction for 2025 next month, the CETI Team takes a moment to look back at how we worked to accelerate an equitable clean energy transition in 2024, which was a year of considerable growth and output for us all.

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

CETI worked on a project with Kinetic West, BW Research Partnership, and Uncommon Bridges to conduct a residential energy workforce gap analysis for a contract with the Washington State Department of Commerce.

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.

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.
