Biomass Legacy Facilities


Biomass energy production facilities that began operating before 1999 are now officially classified as renewable energy producers in the state of Washington.

Governor Christine Gregoire has signed the Legacy Biomass Bill (SB 5575), effectively allowing biomass producers in operation before 1999 to better meet the requirements of I-937. The 2006 initiative requires large utility providers to generate at least 9 percent of their energy output from renewable sources by January 1, 2015, and at least 15 percent by 2020.
