Investment Announcements

These investments are not yet on the map, but will be soon.

Announced Investments

  • State Home Energy Assitance Program: $14 million for weatherization, which includes efficiency improvements and potentially installing new equipment, like electric heat pumps.  (Energy Assistance, the other program component, is already included on the Risk of Repeal Map).
  • The Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office published a list of proposed Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration awards for the 2025-27 biennium, contingent on continued Climate Commitment Act revenue, at the latest board meeting the last week of September (see Attachments 3, 6, and 7 for the specific proposed list).

Closed Applications, Announcements Expected in the Near Future

Open Applications and Information Sessions

  • LAST CALL: Washington EV Instant Rebates Program. Program funding expected to run out before end of October.  With extremely high participation, $4 million was available at the time of this announcement. Eligible drivers can get up to $9,000 in instant rebates on the lease or $5,000 on the purchase of a new qualifying EV — plus up to $7,500 in federal incentives on certain vehicles. Even better, no additional paperwork is required, and the rebate happens at the car dealership. 
  • OCTOBER 28th: Attend the Climate Action Planning Webinar with the Washington Climate Partnership.  Register here. The goal of the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) is to create an implementable, equitable, and comprehensive plan to get to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This webinar is designed to share progress on statewide climate planning efforts. 
  • Rulemaking Announcement: Chapter 173-448 WAC, Air Quality in Overburdened Communities.  Announced October 14th.  “Much of the Climate Commitment Act is dedicated to reducing greenhouse gases at the state level. However, measures for reducing overall state levels of greenhouse gases might not decrease another category of pollutants, called “criteria” air pollutants, at the local level. As a result, RCW 70A.65.020 of the Climate Commitment Act directs Ecology to take actions to reduce criteria air pollution in overburdened communities highly impacted by air pollution. This rulemaking will specify processes and procedures that Ecology will follow to implement this section of the law in communities identified as overburdened and highly impacted by air pollution.”
  • Tribal consultation grants: Applications are open from September 10th through December 3rd.  $5 million is available to support Tribal consultation on funding decisions from Climate Commitment Act (CCA) accounts, consultation on clean energy siting studies, and other climate and clean energy work. An initial $16 million was distributed through prior funding rounds in January 2024 and July 2023. This additional $5 million will be awarded to eligible applicants in December 2024.  Funds will become available Jan. 1, 2025. Funds won’t be available if Initiative 2117 is approved by voters, in accordance with ESSB 5950 Sec 302(8). 
  • Community-driven clean energy project workshops, but virtual in November and in-person/hybrid in October and November:  “Commerce seeks to listen and learn from communities and tribes about their visions for a clean energy future. This fall, we invite you to participate in regional workshops to share your ideas and learn about upcoming opportunities like the potential launch of a Clean Energy Ambassadors program. Participants will learn about clean energy, share their communities’ strengths, and help inform funding opportunities for community-led clean energy.” 
  • Air Quality in Overburdened Community Grants are accepting applications through October 24th. The Department of Ecology funding is available for organizations serving communities overburdened and highly impacted by criteria air pollution (such as Local municipalities, Community-based organizations, and Tribes participating in our initiative to improve air quality in overburdened communities) in order to conduct community engagement, and identify and develop projects to reduce criteria air pollution.  $10M total in available funding with up to $700,000 per project.  APPLY NOW!
  • Washington Agricultural Support Program through the department of Licensing is open for submissions to secure rebates to agricultural fuel users who may have been incorrectly charged for fuels exempted under the Climate Commitment Act. 
  • Sustainable Farms & Fields: Climate-Smart Livestock: A second round of funding (next cutoff is October 7th) is open for applied research and demonstration projects that will result in increased adoption of climate-smart livestock management practices and/or improved accounting of the impacts of climate-smart livestock management practices in agricultural settings in Washington.
  • Family Forest Fish Passage Program.  Applications for 2025 funding due by end of year.
  • Community Forests Program. Board approves ranked list in late October.
