Oregon Department of Energy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) was established in 1975 by the Oregon Legislative Assembly as the culmination of recommendations of several task forces and study groups over several years. The state agency helps Oregonians make informed decisions and maintain a resilient and affordable energy system. ODOE advances solutions to shape an equitable clean energy transition, protect the environment and public health, and responsibly balance energy needs and impacts for current and future generations. ODOE's vision is: "A safe, equitable, clean, and sustainable future." ."[1]
The largest source of renewable energy in Oregon is hydropower.[2] The majority of Oregon's energy consumption comes from the transportation sector, followed by industrial use, residential use, and commercial use.[2]
