Commerce awards more than $60 million for clean energy and grid resilience projects statewide

Nearly 100 clean energy projects across Washington are closer to reality thanks to a $60.4 million investment from the Washington State Department of Commerce. Many of the projects, located in 33 of Washington’s 39 counties, will be online soon to reduce emissions and help lower energy bills.

“These investments demonstrate Commerce’s commitment to moving projects quickly from concept to construction,” said Commerce Interim Director Sarah Clifthorne. “I’m excited we’re helping neighborhoods become more resilient and helping make clean energy more affordable”

The 96 new awards are in addition to $16.8 million for tribal clean energy awards announced in April. In total, Commerce has invested $77.2 million in 118 community clean energy projects this spring.
