What is the Equity Advisory Group?
PSE’s Equity Advisory Group (EAG) is a community stakeholder group of 11-15 members who advise PSE on equity matters related to PSE’s transition to 100% clean electricity. PSE offers a stipend to EAG members to support their ability to participate. 

What does it do?
The EAG advises PSE on embedding equity into clean electricity planning and implementation. EAG members provide advice and discuss the following topics to help PSE deliver a just and equitable clean energy future and meet the objectives of Washington’s Clean Energy Transformation Act:
  • Approaches, metrics and programs that help accelerate equity, so clean energy is accessible, affordable and accountable
  • Community barriers and burdens to address and opportunities for equity
  • Perspectives from and broader engagement with communities we serve, including frontline communities (e.g., low-income communities, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color)

What are the EAG’s expected activities?
EAG members meet approximately 6-8 times per year and serve a 2-3 year term. For 2022, the EAG will focus on education and dialogue on equity and energy topics and provide advice on PSE’s fulfillment of the Clean Energy Implementation Plan including an equity assessment, program design, and customer education and outreach. EAG members will also co-develop an Equity Forum to help EAG members and PSE staff enhance their knowledge and understanding of equity and energy issues.

How will PSE make EAG meetings accessible?
PSE offers compensation for EAG members and can arrange for language interpretation for EAG members as needed. Currently, EAG meetings are planned to be virtual and/or to have a virtual option. PSE can assist EAG members with limited internet access to participate in virtual meetings.

What are the benefits of participating on the EAG?
  • Be a voice in shaping PSE’s planning for clean energy transformation and accelerate equity
  • Help improve access to affordable clean energy options for frontline communities
  • Connect with other community leaders working on advancing equity issues in the clean energy space
  • Learn more about clean energy and the clean energy economy
PSE seeks to bring new voices into the energy planning process and encourage individuals and organizations not actively engaged in PSE’s other advisory groups. We also encourage bilingual individuals to apply.
