On page 1 of the Committee Amendment, beginning on line 7, strike everything through page 22, line 16, and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 43.21F RCW to read as follows:

The legislature finds that the citizens of the state are vitally affected by the development and use of energy. In order to further the interests of the state, a strategy to guide policies and actions impacting energy is needed. A state energy strategy should foster the development of adequate, reliable, secure, economical, and environmentally acceptable energy supplies. A state energy strategy must provide a means by which the various elements of public policy, such as preservation of the quality of the environment, public health and welfare, and economic development are given proper and appropriately balanced consideration in decisions affecting energy supply and use. Such a strategy must be objective in its consideration of energy alternatives and facilitate the efficient operation of energy markets. It must also recognize the basic responsibility that utilities and other energy suppliers have in delivering energy to the citizens of the state. A state energy strategy must also assure that decisions and actions in other areas of public policy, such as transportation, land use, and protection of the environment take into consideration their impact on energy supply and use.

The legislature directs the development of a state energy strategy that is intended to achieve the foregoing goals. The strategy shall identify significant issues; develop a framework for evaluating policies and actions that affect energy supply and use; establish goals to guide energy-related decisions; recommend appropriate energy policies; and make clear the relevant costs, benefits, risks, and trade-offs.

The legislature further finds that state-funded facilities have significant opportunities for improving the efficiency of their energy use. Implementing such improvements would save public funds and serve as a model of energy-efficient operation and management for the citizens of the state. To accomplish this goal, the legislature directs the establishment of a new program for the effective management of expenditures for energy in public facilities and for the demonstration of the efficient use of energy in public facilities."

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 43.21F RCW to read as follows:

(1) The state energy office shall develop a state energy strategy. The strategy shall be developed in consultation with an advisory committee. The advisory committee shall include eighteen members and represent different regions of the state, including thirteen citizens from the following groups: One person employed by an investor-owned electric utility, one person employed by an investor-owned natural gas utility, one person employed by a supplier of petroleum products, one person employed by a publicly owned electric utility, one person employed by an industrial energy user, one person employed by a commercial energy user, one person employed by an agricultural energy user, two persons representing local government, two persons representing civic organizations, and two representatives of environmental organizations. In addition, the advisory committee shall include one of the representatives of the state of Washington to the pacific northwest electric power and conservation planning council selected by the governor; the chair of the energy facility site evaluation council; one member of the utilities and transportation commission selected by the chair of the commission; one member of the house of representatives selected by the speaker of the house of representatives; and one member of the senate selected by the majority leader of the senate. The director may establish technical advisory groups as necessary to assist in the development of the strategy. The director shall provide for extensive public involvement throughout the development of the strategy.

(2) The state energy strategy shall consider all forms of energy and each major sector of energy consumption and shall:

(a) Assess future needs of the state for each form of energy;

(b) Identify measures to assist in maintaining adequate, reliable, secure, economic, and environmentally acceptable supplies;

(c) Identify and, to the extent possible, quantify the costs and benefits of energy alternatives including direct economic costs and benefits, environmental costs and benefits, and the costs of inadequate or unreliable energy supplies;

(d) Develop a framework in which public decisions and actions affecting energy supply and use can be evaluated including the impact of decisions in other areas of public policy on energy supply and cost and on the use of energy and the establishment of goals to guide energy-related decisions;

(e) Evaluate the future role of the state energy office and means of financing those activities determined essential to the state; and

(f) Recommend energy goals and policies to the governor and the legislature.

(3) In developing the state energy strategy, the state energy office shall:

(a) Ensure that the information developed is objective and impartial and facilitates the effective and efficient operation of energy markets but shall not mandate the use of one energy source over another;

(b) Draw upon existing public and private sector information and expertise in energy matters to the fullest extent possible through consultation and cooperation;

(c) Recognize the planning horizons required for each segment of the energy industry and need for state actions and decisions to take those planning horizons into consideration; and

(d) Ensure that the strategy is coordinated with the energy planning activities of federal, state, and private entities and does not duplicate what is already available.

(4) The energy office shall provide a progress report to the house of representatives and senate committees on energy and utilities in January 1992. A final report shall be provided to the governor and the legislature by December 1, 1992."

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. The Washington state energy office shall prepare a complete and comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits of constructing cost-effective cogeneration projects in state agency and school district facilities. The analysis shall include:

(8) Identification of the potential purchasers of the output of each project;

(9) The revenue expected for each project;

(10) The value of energy used in the host facility;

(11) An estimate of the range within which the revenues and the value of energy used by the host facility may be expected to vary;

(17) Any other costs and benefits, whether financial, environmental, or otherwise, associated with the project.

The energy office shall make an interim report on the status of the analysis and preliminary conclusions to the energy and utilities committees of the house of representatives and the senate by December 1, 1991, and a final report to the governor and the legislature by July 1, 1992."
