A bill sponsored by Washington 14^th District State Representative Gina Mosbrucker to extend the requirement for the Department of Commerce and the Utilities and Transportation Commission to jointly convene resource adequacy stakeholder meetings annually through 2029 has passed unanimously in the House.  The purpose of the meetings is to discuss the adequacy of the state’s energy resources and to address steps utilities can take to coordinate planning that would ensure sufficient electrical energy supplies to meet demand.  The measure also requires the 2022 energy resource adequacy stakeholder meeting to address the risk of rolling blackouts and electrical inadequacy events, discuss how proposed electrification laws and regulations may require new state policy for resource adequacy, and identify incentives to ensure sufficient electrical supplies.  Lawmakers in the House approved the measure, 93-0.  It now goes to the Senate for further consideration.
