The Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council provides a "one-stop" siting process for major energy facilities in the State of Washington. The Council coordinates all of the evaluation and licensing steps for siting major energy facilities in Washington.

If a project is approved, EFSEC:

• specifies the conditions of construction and operation
• issues permits in lieu of any other individual state or local agency authority
• manages an environmental and safety oversight program of facility and site operations.
