*Background*
The Washington Legislature directed the Department of Commerce to conduct a study and create a report on the impacts of clean energy projects on rural communities. The purpose is to increase mutual understanding among policymakers, rural community residents, and representative interests. Development of a detailed analysis of the direct and indirect economic and financial impacts of clean energy projects in rural Washington will be prepared as part of this study.
Commerce contracted the services of a consultant to provide neutral third-party services for the Rural Clean Energy Economics and Community Engagement Study and Report. Ross Strategic [ [link removed] ] leads the Consultant Team, and is supported by the Clean Energy Transition Institute [ [link removed] ] (CETI) and Industrial Economics, Inc. [ [link removed] ] (IEc). Ross Strategic will impartially facilitate the public meetings with subject matter expertise on clean energy issues provided by CETI and on economics and financial analyses provided by IEc.
