Changing for a Changing Climate

Overcoming the Headwinds of Meeting Oregon’s Clean Energy Goals

The 2020s have brought a lot of change in Oregon’s energy landscape. From customer affordability to growing energy demands, the challenges we faced at the start of the decade are much different than today. Oregon is now five years out from meeting its 2030 climate goals for both electric and gas utilities. As we work toward a cleaner energy system, we must reflect on the progress we’ve already made and face the mounting challenges of the next half-decade.

While Oregon has a lot of challenges, we also have a lot of opportunities to move into clean energy that equitably meets the needs of our communities. How can we manage customer affordability during the clean energy transition? How can we meet the increasing demand from new industries like data centers? How will a changing policy landscape impact our state’s climate goals? And what can we learn from our communities on the frontlines of climate change in Oregon?
