Save the Date! Join ODOE to Kick off Oregon Energy Strategy November 13

House Bill 3630 directed the Oregon Department of Energy to develop a State Energy Strategy that identifies pathways to achieve the state’s energy policy objectives. The strategy will build on existing state laws, policies, and targets for energy and greenhouse gas emissions; existing energy and integrated resource plans; and energy-related studies and data analysis.

ODOE will consult with Oregonians, relevant agencies, Tribes, and stakeholders to develop the state’s strategy. Join ODOE on November 13, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. for an introductory webinar to learn about the opportunities the State Energy Strategy provides and ways to engage in the process.  

At the meeting, we’ll discuss:

  • Why we're creating an Energy Strategy.

  • What the Energy Strategy will cover and how it will be developed.

  • How ODOE will work with other state agencies in developing the Energy Strategy.

  • How Oregonians can get involved. 

There will also be an opportunity for Q&A and an explanation of next steps. More information, including connection details to join the meeting virtually, will be available on ODOE’s Energy Strategy webpage prior to the meeting.

We are making efforts for this process to be as inclusive as possible. Please spread the word! Interested Oregonians can subscribe to our mailing list to receive future communications about the Oregon State Energy Strategy.

 

Additional Background

The development of the Oregon Energy Strategy will be a two-and-a-half-year project, with a final written report to the Governor and Legislature by November 1, 2025. The strategy will be built through a step-by-step process that combines data gathering, technical analysis, and scenario definition and modelling, alongside development of policy recommendations – bolstered by a stakeholder engagement process that will ensure an inclusive and informed strategy. ODOE will contract with technical experts and facilitation specialists to support the technical analysis and ensure a robust and inclusive process.
