The Oregon Department of Energy believes that informing and involving citizens leads to good public policy. 
 
However, we realize it can be difficult for the average citizen to navigate the complexities of state government. It is our hope that this webpage will better inform citizens of what its energy department is involved in both now and into the future. 
 
This page consists of links to various committees (listed alphabetically) working on state energy policy. Some of these committees meet regularly, others on an as-needed basis.
 
If you cannot find what you are looking for on this page, please check out the department's A-to-Z Index, or call the main office in Salem at 503-378-4040.
