WAC 194-40-340. Acquisition of new resources other than renewable resources and energy storage

A utility that acquires a new fossil fuel generating resource or new nonemitting electric generation must document through its integrated resource plan and any other analysis relied on in making its decision that the resource acquisition is consistent with meeting the utility's targets under RCW 19.405.040 or the standard in RCW 19.405.050 at the lowest reasonable cost, considering risk. For the purposes of this chapter, a resource that commenced operation on or before May 7, 2019, is not a new resource.
