What this bill does

Establishes requirements for emerging large energy use facilities (ELEUFs), electric utilities, the Utilities and Transportation Commission, and the Department of Commerce related to ELEUFs, including by requiring ELEUFs to: operate under an ELEUF tariff or contract with their utility, report on their use of water and energy, report to improve resource forecasting, meet certain labor standards for work on behind the meter facilities they own, and, for new or expanded ELEUFs, to use electricity from renewable resources or nonemitting electric generation for 80 percent of their needs by 2030 and for 100 percent of their needs by 2045. Prohibits the Department of Ecology from distributing no-cost allowances under the Cap-and-Invest Program to electric utilities to mitigate the cost burden of the program on ELEUFs. Directs ELEUFs to pay an annual fee to the Department of Revenue and creates an account and specified purposes for the fee proceeds.
