Promoting Renewable Energy in Oregon

(SB 838)

Senate Vote # 16

House Vote # 16

This landmark policy catapults Oregon into a national leadership position in the production of renewable energy. Under this bill, Oregon’s larger utilities must generate 25% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025, with smaller utilities having lower goals. The bill will spark a dramatic increase in the amount of wind and solar power produced in the state. In doing so, it will boost the economy, provide a more reliable source of energy, and will combat global warming by decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels used for electricity.
