The Oregon Energy Strategy identifies pathways to achieving the state’s energy policy objectives. The report was informed by robust stakeholder engagement and will help Oregon achieve emissions reductions in line with state energy and climate policy goals.
In November 2025, the Oregon Department of Energy published the Oregon Energy Strategy.

The Oregon Department of Energy led development of the Oregon Energy Strategy, which identifies pathways to achieve the state’s energy objectives. The strategy considered benefits and challenges of different pathways, presents policy recommendations, and reflects input from Oregonians who informed the strategy.
Oregon Energy Strategy development spanned two years and combined data gathering, technical analysis, and policy discussions anchored in engagement with Oregonians with diverse backgrounds and perspectives from across the state.
Achieving Oregon's Energy Policy Objectives
As directed by
HB 3630, the strategy outlines potential actions to meet the state’s energy policy objectives, including reliability, affordability, and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets:
Executive Order 20-04: Economy-wide 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050
HB 2021: Clean electricity targets for Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, and covered electricity service suppliers, including 80 percent emissions reductions by 2030, 90 percent by 2035, 100 percent by 2040
-
Climate Protection Program: 90 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas, liquid fuels, and propane by 2050
Exploring Energy Pathways
The Legislature tasked ODOE with coordinating development of the Oregon Energy Strategy. However, many Oregonians contributed to its development, and the state encouraged feedback and input from a diverse range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. An Interagency Steering Group of state agencies helped to guide development of the Oregon Energy Strategy. ODOE also formed an Advisory Group and several Policy Working Groups to help inform and provide feedback to the development of the report. ODOE is grateful to the many Oregonians who weighed in!

Get Involved and Stay Updated
While the Oregon Energy Strategy report is now complete, the work is just beginning. ODOE looks forward to working with the Governor's office, Legislators, and other partners to implement energy strategy recommendations. Please sign up to receive email updates. We also still encourage written feedback and requests for presentations through the Oregon Energy Strategy Comment Portal.
Oregon Energy Strategy Project Materials
Public outreach to develop and inform the Oregon Energy Strategy began in the spring of 2024. Materials, meeting information, supporting documents that help inform this project are available here:
