Energy Planning

The Oregon Department of Energy is responsible for Oregon's long-term energy planning.

State & Regional Energy Planning

ODOE actively partners with other agencies and stakeholders in a wide variety of state and regional energy planning activities. Regional energy planning ensures Oregonians will have reliable and affordable energy resources, while meeting climate and other energy-related goals and supporting strong economic development.

The agency participates in the development of:

• The Northwest Power and Conservation Council's Power Plans
• The Regional Technical Forum, the Demand Response Advisory Committee, and other committees that evaluate the cost-effectiveness of energy-saving measures
• Integrated Resource Plans for utilities
• The Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) Study

We provide a unique statewide perspective in state and regional planning processes, cutting across energy sectors, fuel types, planning jurisdictions, and consumer classifications.
