WA SOLAR DECADE results from Solar Plus NW Collaborative (completed July 2020)
In September 2019, Solar Installers of Washington (now WASEIA) set a goal to install 3 GW of new solar energy by 2030. Earlier in the year, the Washington state legislature passed the Clean Energy Transition Act (CETA) to reduce green house gas emissions by requiring utilities to deliver 100% clean electricity by 2045.
Goal: 3 GW of new solar energy by 2030
