SB6092 provides no-cost greenhouse gas allowances to waste-to-energy facilities in Washington, ensuring fair treatment under the Climate Commitment.

SB6092 amends the Climate Commitment Act to provide no-cost greenhouse gas allowances to waste-to-energy facilities in Washington. These allowances are intended to ensure fair treatment of the state's only waste-to-energy system, which emits fewer greenhouse gases than landfill waste management. The bill mandates that the Department of Ecology allocate allowances based on the facility's emissions, with specific percentages for different compliance periods. The allowances are designed to mitigate the cost burden on electricity customers, with priority given to low-income customers.
