| Summary | Request to revise Tariff WN U-6 by establishing Schedule 308, Washington Climate Commitment Act Recovery Mechanism, to incorporate into rates the Climate Commitment Act allowance costs and auction proceeds deferred between January 1, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and the costs and proceeds forecast from October 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024. A typical residential customer connected to the system as of July 25, 2021, using 55 therms would see an increase of $7.99 per month.

Known low-income customers would receive a credit that fully offsets the rate increase. |
