A bill sponsored by Washington 14th District Representative Gina Mosbrucker to require the state commerce department and the Utilities and Transportation Commission to hold annual stakeholder meetings to discuss the adequacy of the state’s energy resources received a committee hearing on Tuesday. Mosbrucker says the purpose would be to prevent rolling blackouts experienced by California and Texas. The measure would require this year’s meeting to specifically address locations in Washington that would be at risk of inadequate electric supplies, and policy recommendations to prevent rolling blackouts and identify incentives to enhance energy adequacy and reliability.
