The Oregon Department of Energy's Biennial Energy Report is developed every even-numbered year by November 1 to inform local, state, regional, and federal energy policy development, energy planning, and energy investments.
2026 Biennial Energy Report
The 2026 report is divided into several sections, focusing on where Oregon is today in the clean energy transition and what energy options exist to forge ahead on the path to a clean, affordable, and reliable energy future, as outlined in the Oregon Energy Strategy. Data and examples included in the report illustrate how the energy sector is evolving, with more renewable energy available than ever before, new clean and renewable technologies on the horizon, and more resources to help Oregonians make informed decisions about their energy choices.
The focus of the 2026 report is to cover relevant aspects of energy that bolster the Oregon Energy Strategy's five pathways to a clean energy future that is affordable and reliable. Even as we work to move to cleaner energy resources, climate change is increasingly taking a toll on our energy systems. At the same time, energy demand is growing faster than it has in several decades, led by the proliferation of data centers and industrial growth. It will require innovative technologies, economies, and investments to meet these challenges, many of which are highlighted in this or
previous reports.
While the challenges are great, this report empowers Oregonians with data and information to make informed energy choices to address these challenges and take advantage of opportunities to create a safe, equitable, clean, and sustainable energy future.
