Rural Clean Energy Economics and Community Engagement

CETI worked with Ross Strategic and Industrial Economics, Inc. on a Rural Clean Energy Economics and Community Engagement Study and Report for the Washington State Department of Commerce.

The purpose of the study is to increase understanding among rural communities, representative interests, and government agencies and policymakers about the potential opportunities and impacts of renewable energy development in rural communities throughout Washington. The study includes economic analysis and community engagement processes.

The final report was submitted to Commerce in October 2024 and was delivered to the Legislature in December 2024.
