Oregon Clean Energy Plan
Delivering on a bold vision for Oregon’s clean energy future
In alignment with Oregon House Bill (HB) 2021, our Oregon Clean Energy Plan (CEP) lays out our path to a sustainable future for our state while delivering benefits to local communities.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Among other requirements, HB2021 mandates that retail electricity providers must reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity sold to Oregon consumers by:
- 80% below 2010-2012 baseline emissions levels by 2030
- 90% below baseline emissions levels by 2035
- 100% below baseline emissions levels by 2040
Chart represents emissions reduction rates in million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent.

Engaging with communities
To develop the best possible CEP for Oregon, we are committed to gathering stakeholder input throughout the process. We invite and encourage customers and the general public to participate in our planning discussions.
Our strategic engagement activities and opportunities include the following:
Clean Energy Plan & Integrated Resource Plan
These meetings provide opportunities for all stakeholders to learn more and provide feedback on our CEP and IRP.
Community Benefits & Impacts Advisory Group
The CBIAG seeks stakeholder feedback to align our focus on equity with our commitment to a clean energy future.
Tribal Nations engagement
We’re working to build a strong partnership for consultation and collaboration with Oregon Tribes.
Distribution System Planning
These public workshops convene stakeholders to plan and modernize the grid.
Prioritizing community benefits
Our Oregon CEP is more than an ambitious plan for decarbonization — it’s a commitment to the customers and communities we serve.
Here is a closer look at our community engagement efforts and ways you can participate in energy planning.

Integrated Resource Plan
Our CEP work in Oregon is powered by our commitment to a clean energy future across our six-state service region. By coordinating efforts region-wide, we are simplifying and streamlining our energy transition path. Drawing on comprehensive data analysis and stakeholder input, we regularly update our Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which serves as a roadmap for transforming the western grid at scale.
The IRP is more than a vision for the future; it is our promise to the communities we serve — one we’re already delivering on, with steady progress toward ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. As our 2023 IRP demonstrates, we’ve made significant headway in recent years by investing in transmission, renewable resources and market strategies — and by driving forward innovative technologies, such as batteries and advanced nuclear resources, to keep energy supplies reliable and affordable for customers across the region.
