Summary
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.
Commerce awarded $4.9 million through the Thermal Energy Networks Pilot Program to support three utility-owned district energy systems.
These systems use shared underground thermal loops to deliver efficient heating and cooling to multiple buildings, replacing combustion-based systems with geothermal, solar thermal and recovered waste heat. The new systems reduce emissions, improve indoor air quality and increase resilience during extreme usage peaks, such as heat waves and cold snaps.
