ODOE is required by state law (ORS 469.059) to develop a Biennial Energy Report to inform local, state, regional, and federal energy policy development and energy planning and investments. In 2018, the inaugural Biennial Energy Report provided foundational energy data, examined the existing policy landscape, and identified options for continued progress toward meeting the state’s energy goals. In 2020, the ODOE BER project team plans to address energy topics through a data-driven process, incorporating equity considerations, and an assessment of the policy landscape. You can find the 2020 ODOE BER survey online and guidance for providing input by April 30, 2020 is available as a PDF.
