The Oregon Department of Energy has submitted three major deliverables required under Governor Kotek’s Executive Order 25-29: a report on Siting and Permitting Large-Scale Electricity Infrastructure, a report on Reducing Barriers to Clean Energy Deployment, and a Proposed Framework for Strategic Transmission Siting.

These efforts will ultimately support access to the energy needed for Oregon homes and businesses to continue to grow and thrive.
