Clean Energy Siting and Permitting Grants
From WA Department of Commerce
Commerce is now accepting applications for $4.85 million in Clean Energy Siting and Permitting (CESP) grants to help local governments and tribes improve the siting and permitting of clean energy projects across Washington state. The CESP program funds planning and process improvements that reduce barriers, streamline reviews, and help communities prepare for clean energy projects such as solar, wind, and energy storage. Eligible activities include predevelopment work for potential sites, land use studies, planning efforts such as planned actions or programmatic environmental impact statements, and hiring staff to make the permitting process faster and more predictable. Priority will be given to applicants that demonstrate project readiness with a detailed plan to start immediately upon award, have recently been involved in permitting activities, or are tribes or their authorized representatives. Projects must directly improve clean energy siting and permitting processes in Washington.
