ROOTS

We are actively engaging with regulators and legislators to mitigate the impacts of mandates that could negatively affect our business.

Currently, Inland Power is subjected to three regulatory mandates in the state of Washington - I-937, the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) and “Cap and Invest” to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Although our power supply comes from BPA, which is 95 percent carbon-free, the efforts to achieve 100 percent carbon free resources are costly. Inland Power members are charged over $2.4 million annually to comply with the state of Washington regulations and that amount is projected to increase soon.

IN 2022, WE COMMITTED TO PUTTING MORE FOCUS AND RESOURCES TOWARD FIGHTING FOR YOU IN OLYMPIA AND D.C. Our government affairs team is vigorously involved in the legislative process and is building relationships with new lawmakers and strengthening existing relationships. We are also putting focus on working on both sides of the aisle. It is important to work well with both parties in order to effectively impact change. Still, the battle is arduous and it will take more than just a few Inland employees. OUR STRENGTH IS IN NUMBERS. WE NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK. WE NEED YOU! Inland Power has an opportunity for you to let your voice be heard in our legislative process. We have partnered with Voices for Cooperative Power, which helps us inform our members on key issues impacting your cooperative and provides messaging for you to write, email and call your state and federal leaders. We encourage all our members to get involved. YOUR ENGAGEMENT CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.
