The City of Port Angeles has partnered with the Washington State Department of Commerce and Promise to distribute funds that help low- and moderate-income households pay their electricity bills.
What is the Clean Energy Credits for Washington Families Program?
This program is offering a one-time bill credit of $200 to eligible electric utility customers. Qualifying customers will have the $200 bill credit applied to their utility account by September 15, 2024.
The Clean Energy Credits for Washington Families Program is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA).

Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.
