Pacific County Public Utility District (PUD) is teaming up with Promise and the Washington State Department of Commerce to provide financial assistance to local residents through the Washington Families Clean Energy Credits grant program. This initiative is part of Washington’s broader efforts to support low to moderate-income households during the clean energy transition, offering a $200 bill credit to eligible residential customers.

About the Clean Energy Credits Program

Funded by Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA), the program aims to ease the financial burden on families while promoting cleaner energy solutions. The CCA, a legislative effort to reduce climate pollution, create jobs, and enhance public health, is using cap-and-invest dollars to fund these energy credits. As a result, households across Washington can benefit from cleaner energy and financial support.

By September 15, 2024, Pacific County PUD will apply the $200 bill credit directly to the electric accounts of eligible customers. The program is designed to be simple and accessible, ensuring that more families can participate in the clean energy movement without facing undue financial strain.

How to Apply for the $200 Bill Credit

Applying for the Washington Families Clean Energy Credits is straightforward:

1. Gather Necessary Information: Applicants will need their Pacific County PUD account number, the number of people in their household, and the total gross annual income for all adults in the household for the year 2023.
2. Submit Your Application: Applications can be completed online at wacleanenergycredits.com. The process is quick, aiming to provide a hassle-free experience for residents seeking financial assistance.
3. Receive the Credit: Once the application is approved, Pacific County PUD will be notified and will apply the $200 credit to the customer’s electric bill automatically, helping to reduce their account balance by the specified date.

Program Administration

The program is administered by Promise, a software company specializing in relief distribution and revenue recovery for government programs. By partnering with state and local governments, Promise ensures that funds reach utility customers efficiently, providing much-needed aid for utility bills.
