Energy in Oregon

PacifiCorp, Portland General Electric, the Eugene Water & Electric Board, and Umatilla Electric Cooperative have Large Utility Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements to meet.

Since 2011, Oregon’s large utility renewable portfolio standard has required utilities whose sales amount to three percent or more of statewide sales to obtain a certain percentage of their electricity from qualifying renewable sources. Every large utility must submit an annual compliance report, either to the Oregon Public Utility Commission or, for consumer-owned utilities, to that utilities’ members or customers. 

In addition, both Pacific Power and Portland General Electric must describe their plan for meeting their RPS requirements as part of their integrated resource plan filed with the Oregon Public Utility Commission. Before 2023, this plan was separately filed as an RPS implementation plan. 

Other utilities across the state have compliance requirements that will become effective in 2025.

Utilities may incorporate their WREGIS Renewable Energy Certificate Retirement data in their Compliance Reports or may publish it separately (see below).
