The Oregon Legislature, through
HB 3630, directed ODOE to develop a State Energy Strategy. The report will be developed in consultation with relevant agencies, federally recognized Indian tribes, and stakeholders. It will further build on state laws, policies, and targets regarding energy and greenhouse gas emissions; existing energy and integrated resource plans; and energy-related studies and data analysis.
The development of the Oregon Energy Strategy is a two-and-a-half-year project, beginning in July 2023, with a final written report to the Governor and Legislature due by November 1, 2025. The Oregon Energy Strategy will be built through a step-by-step process that combines data gathering, technical analysis, scenario definition and modeling, and development of policy recommendations, integrated with an iterative stakeholder engagement process that ensures an inclusive and informed Strategy. To keep stakeholders and the public informed of progress and opportunities for engagement, ODOE will be updating this webpage regularly with relevant information.
Strategy Development
The Oregon Energy Strategy will be developed through a step-by-step process that combines data gathering, technical analysis, scenario modeling, and input from Oregonians with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, as well as from communities all over the state. Learn about — and view upcoming meetings for — the following groups that were created to solicit input and feedback as the strategy is developed:
Comment Portal
There are many opportunities to share input and contribute throughout the development of the Oregon Energy Strategy. We encourage written comments to be submitted to the
Oregon Energy Strategy Comment Portal.
The deadline for comments on the first phase of the Oregon Energy Strategy was on Sept. 4, 2024. However,
ODOE's Comment Portal will remain open for other comments and feedback. ODOE will also share specific upcoming feedback opportunities, including alternative scenarios that will be shared later in 2024.
Community and Stakeholder Engagement
All
Advisory Group and
Working Group meetings will be open to the public to attend. Additionally, ODOE will host several open opportunities for Oregonians to learn the latest about the Energy Strategy and provide feedback. Find the full schedule of all public Oregon Energy Strategy meetings
