Oregon Department of Energy is seeking input for the 2022 Biennial Energy Report
The Biennial Energy Report is legislatively required (ORS 469.059) and produced by our agency every even-numbered year to inform local, state, and regional energy policy, planning, and investments. It includes basic facts about energy in Oregon, reviews of resources and technologies, foundational information on key topics, a timeline of Oregon’s energy history, and policy briefs on timely and relevant issues. The 2018 and 2020 Energy Reports are archived online.

Please use this comment portal to provide your input on the 2022 Report based on guiding questions on the following pages.


The project team plans to address required topics through a data-driven process, equity considerations, and assessment of the policy landscape.
Topics Required in ORS 469.059
  • Consumption, generation, transmission, and production of energy, including fuel energy
  • Energy costs
