The document outlines Washington State's strategy to transition to renewable energy sources and a clean energy economy. It discusses increasing energy demands in the state and the need to diversify energy production and localize it. The strategy involves setting renewable portfolio standards, incentivizing renewable energy and efficiency through tax credits and procurement policies, and forming public-private partnerships and industry alignments. The state also aims to leverage federal resources and conduct outreach to attract investment, recruit companies, and channel research funding to support the transition.
