Energy Efficiency Public Participation Forum
Welcome
Puget Sound Energy's first Energy Efficiency Public Participation Forum
The June 29 Public Participation Forum was a chance for PSE to communicate directly with our energy efficiency community and share our plans and designs for the years 2022-2023. As stakeholders in the shared clean energy future we’re all working to create, we invite you to share your questions and feedback.
During the Public Participation Forum, we discussed:
- Energy efficiency program approaches for the 2022-2023 cycle
- Program design and proposed new services
- Marketing and outreach strategies
PSE’s Energy Efficiency programs are designed on two-year biennial cycles, and we’re currently operating in the 2020-2021 biennium while planning for 2022-2023. Please note that the electric and natural gas savings targets have already been established by the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process.
We also shared the Energy Efficiency targets that resulted from the Integrated Resource Plan process, how we intend to achieve those targets, and invite your feedback on how we can make our programs and outreach more effective.
Updates
Thanks to everyone who attended the public participation forum on June 29, 2021.

Questions and responses from the event
PSE hosted the Energy Efficiency Public Participation Forum on June 29, 2021 to share information and answer questions from stakeholders about PSE’s energy efficiency programs and approaches for 2022-2023. PSE hosted the meeting online using Zoom webinar.
The document linked below records stakeholders’ questions and PSE’s responses. Questions were accepted up until July 13, 2021. The feedback form for this event is now closed.
How we use your comments
Your comments will help inform the Energy Efficiency program biennium planning. PSE compiled comments into a feedback report, which includes summaries of comments received and responses from PSE.
While PSE considers stakeholder feedback at all times, this public forum was designed to specifically focus on the 2022-2023 planning period. Because of our planning deadlines, we asked for feedback from this specific forum within the timelines described below.
Timeline for feedback
- Two weeks before the meeting: PSE shared the meeting agenda, presentation slides and data attachments on the website. Stakeholders could begin submitting feedback via the feedback form. All comments collected at least three days in advance of each webinar were reported and considered for discussion at the webinar.
- One day after the meeting: A recording of the webinar was posted to the website so those who were unable to attend could review.
- Two weeks after the meeting: Feedback form on the website was closed.
- Three weeks after the meeting: Feedback report of all comments collected from the feedback form and event, along with PSE’s responses, will be shared with stakeholders via the website and through email.
