LONG BEACH — Pacific PUD said last week it will participate in the Washington Families Clean Energy Credit Grant program, which offers bill credits of $200 per residential household to eligible residential customers through their electric account.

The county’s electric utility is working with the Washington State Department of Commerce and Promise to provide this aid to low to moderate income households.

The Department of Commerce will distribute grants to all utility companies in Washington, enabling them to pass on credits to customer accounts by Sept. 15. The funding for this program comes from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.
