We are excited to welcome 46 interns to Seattle City Light this year! We’ll share about the work they’re doing across the utility during their time with us, so keep an eye out!

For our first (spot)Light, meet Resource Partnerships and Grant Intern Anyssa Eng! Anyssa is a junior at Seattle University studying environmental studies and public affairs. She’s part of our Electrification and Strategic Technology team working on how community, sustainability, and partnerships come together in local government.

Thanks for being part of the team, Anyssa!

If you own an EV and charge at home, the new Time of Use (TOU) rate could be a great opportunity for you to save on your bill and help reduce stress on our power grid. You would also be reducing your carbon footprint and helping City Light keep its electricity as sustainable as possible. Go to seattle.gov/city-light/tou to learn how scheduling your car charging between midnight and 6 AM can save you money, help the grid, reduce pollution, and allow City Light to invest in a resilient future.
