I-2066 would increase energy bills. It would require utility companies to continue investing in outdated technology, and the costs would be passed onto families and businesses.
I-2066 attacks energy efficiency. It would roll back modern protections that make homes and businesses more energy efficient. It jeopardizes energy efficiency programs and would take away important customer rebates, raising costs for Washingtonians.
I-2066 is funded by powerful interest groups. It is part of a nationwide effort by fossil fuel corporations and well-funded interest groups that want to make as much money as possible while Washington families pay higher energy bills.
I-2066 would stop towns, cities and counties from making decisions that work best for their communities. It’s an overreach designed to prevent local decision-making.
More than 200 organizations, businesses, and elected leaders oppose I-2066.

Make no mistake: Initiative 2066 would increase energy bills for Washington families, and it would jeopardize programs that help people living on low incomes have access to more efficient home appliances that save money.
Energy efficiency lowers our utility bills, and keeps our homes comfortable during extreme weather, heat waves, and wildfire smoke.
Washington law already guarantees energy choice and allows people to have natural gas if they want it. The people backing 2066 are powerful groups of individuals trying to overturn common sense and clean energy progress so they can profit at our expense.
