The Washington Families Clean Energy Credits grant program aims to directly assist those most impacted by energy costs as the state transitions toward a clean energy future by offering bill credits of $200 per household to eligible residential customers through their electric utility provider.
Funding Information
For a family of four living in areas of the state with the lowest cost of living, this equates to a qualifying household income of $72,000, and up to $135,000 if funding allows. In areas such as Seattle, Everett, and Vancouver, the qualifying income for a four-person household increases to $110,950, and up to $226,050 depending on available funding.
Eligibility Criteria
- Electricity customers with low to moderate household income are eligible to receive a one-time $200 bill credit. Qualifying customers will have the bill credit applied to their active utility account by September 15, 2024. Credits may be applied automatically.
- If a customer is enrolled in their utility’s ratepayer assistance programs, such as senior, disabled, or Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) they may already be qualified to automatically receive a credit from the utility without taking any action.
- Customers who may have enrolled in other assistance programs through local community agencies, such as home weatherization or nutrition assistance, may also qualify for an automatic credit.
