2024
Biennial Energy Report
Executive Summary
In 2017, the Oregon Department of Energy introduced House Bill 2343 to the Legislature. The bill charged the department with developing a new Biennial Energy Report to inform local, state, regional, and federal energy policy development and energy planning and investments. The report – based on analysis of data and information collected and compiled by the Oregon Department of Energy – provides a comprehensive review of energy resources, policies, trends, and forecasts, and what they mean for Oregon.
What You Can Expect to See in the 2024 Biennial Energy Report
This report is divided into several sections, focusing on where Oregon is today in the clean energy transition and what energy options exist to forge ahead on the path to a cleaner, low-carbon future.
The focus of the 2024 report is to cover relevant aspects of Oregon’s clean energy transition. Even as we work to move to cleaner energy resources, climate change is increasingly taking a toll on our energy systems. At the same time, energy demand is growing faster than it has in several decades, led by the proliferation of data centers and industrial growth. It will require innovative technologies, economies, and investments to meet these challenges, many of which are highlighted in this or previous reports.
While the challenges are great, this report empowers Oregonians with data and information to make informed energy choices to address these challenges and take advantage of opportunities to create a safe, equitable, clean, and sustainable energy future.
