Energy Strategy Working Groups

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Oregon Energy Strategy Working Groups​

The Oregon Department of Energy is in the process of developing the Oregon Energy Strategy that identifies pathways to achieving the state’s energy policy objectives, per HB 3630 (2023). The Oregon Energy Strategy will include policy recommendations that build on the pathways analysis, and support meeting our state’s energy policy objectives, including reliability, affordability, and greenhouse gas emission reductions.

In addition to the Advisory Group, Policy Working Groups were created to help inform the development of the Oregon Energy Strategy. As part of this process, we have formed five Policy Workin​g Groups to reflect on the results of the technical modeling currently underway by our consultant, the Clean Energy Transition Institute, and to help identify policy gaps and opportunities. The Policy Working Groups are organized as follows:

  • Environmental Justice and Equity
    • EJ and equity focused discussions
    • Provide EJ and equity perspectives in the other working groups
  • Building Efficiency, Electrification, and Distributed Energy Resources | Key Model Findings
    • Residential and commercial
    • Customer-side of the meter
  • Developing Clean Electricity Generation and Transmission | Key Model Findings
    • Electricity generation and storage in front of the meter 
    • Transmission
    • Development needs and barriers/competing priorities
  • Low-carbon Fuels | Key Model Findings
    • Opportunities for low carbon fuels in buildings, industry, and transportation
    • Identification of barriers and potential solutions to production and distribution of fuels 
  • Transportation Electrification | Key Model Findings
    • Light-, medium-, and heavy-duty zero emission vehicles (battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell)
    • Charging and fueling infrastructure
    • Vehicle miles traveled reduction
If you have questions or are looking for more information, please email energy.strategy@energy.oregon.gov. Additionally, ​we encourage written comments to be submitted to the Oregon Energy Strategy Comment Portal.​
