Oregon Renewable Future

How Oregon generates and uses energy is influenced by the climate crisis.
Electricity Demand
Warmer temperatures in certain areas could increase electricity demand due to the need to cool workplaces and homes. As a result, it would create stress on energy systems, and it will be challenging for utilities to meet the demand.
Energy Sustainability
Longer and more frequent wildfires that affect many areas could lead to power shut-offs and infrastructure outages to lessen risk. …

One-third of the energy consumption in Oregon is due to transportation. Alternative fuels, such as biodiesel and ethanol, can improve energy security, lessen carbon emissions, and minimize the negative impact of fossil fuels on people’s health.

Investing in environment-friendly and energy-efficient homes will help Oregonians save and support a sustainable and safe energy future.
Energy scoring systems help people understand how homes use energy and see how little progress can contribute to a considerable amount of energy savings. A certified expert will assess a household’s performance and give a score comparable to an Energy Guide description usually seen on appliances. Then, the evaluator will check for insulation levels, air leaks, doors…

The Solar Dashboard was created to share data about solar facilities in Oregon. Solar energy establishments are classified by installation date, system size, and sector (utility, commercial, or residential). Commercial and Residential sector establishments mainly involve roof-mounted installations linked via net metering contracts. Utility sector establishments are usually ground-mounted and larger and sell their output straight to an organization.
