2025 Conference: Changing for a Changing Climate
The 2020s have brought a lot of change to 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.
Featured Panel - 2021: Back to the Future
Four years ago, Oregon passed HB 2021: 100% Clean Electricity. As we near the first benchmarks for electric utilities to reduce emissions, it’s time to revisit this landmark legislation to recenter the vision behind the law. Oregon’s energy landscape looks much different than in 2021, bringing new challenges and context to how we approach rolling out clean energy.
By reuniting those who created Oregon’s premier clean energy law, we will explore how we got here, dive into what’s changed since its passing, and what we’re facing as we move to emission-free electricity.
Moderator: Bob Jenks, Executive Director
