About the Agency
Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) provides a “one-stop” siting process for major energy facilities in the State of Washington. EFSEC coordinates all evaluation and licensing steps for siting certain energy facilities in Washington. EFSEC specifies the conditions of construction and operation and manages an environmental and safety oversight program of facility and site operations. EFSEC maintains jurisdiction over project sites from application until eventual decommissioning and reclamation of the site. The Council's responsibilities are listed in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 80.50. These responsibilities include siting large natural gas and oil pipelines, thermal electric power plants that are 350 megawatts or greater and their dedicated transmission lines, new oil refineries or large expansions of existing facilities, and underground natural gas storage fields. Energy facilities of any size that exclusively use alternative energy resources (wind, solar, geothermal, landfill gas, wave or tidal action, or biomass energy) can opt in to the EFSEC review and certification process as with certain electrical transmission lines.

About the Position
The Executive Director leads all agency programs and staff to make recommendations to the EFSEC Council for Council recommendations to the Governor on siting energy facilities. The Executive Director has significant statewide policy impact for energy facility siting and compliance.
