Background:

The Oregon Department of Energy seeks public comments by 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 24, 2026 on the agency’s draft Report on Siting and Permitting Large-Scale Electricity Infrastructure. ODOE is developing the report pursuant to Executive Order 25-29. ODOE must deliver a final report, and the related draft Report on Siting and Permitting Large-Scale Electricity Infrastructure, to the Governor’s Office by September 1, 2026.

Comments received will be publicly shared. ODOE encourages commenters to be as specific as possible in identifying concerns and recommendations. ODOE has drafted questions for commenters to consider. You are not required to answer every question; required questions are marked with an asterisk symbol (*).

You may enter your name as “Anonymous” and your Zip/Postal Code as “00000” if you wish. If you choose to upload a file, ODOE respectfully requests that you seek to ensure the document is accessible for ADA compliance purposes.

To ensure that we are reaching a geographically diverse population across the state (which will help us to better reach out to and engage with communities, partners, and interested parties) we encourage you to include your zip/postal code (this may be your home or business zip code). Additionally, we are committed to providing equitable access to the decision-making process and recognize that Tribes; Tribal, coastal, and rural communities; and environmental justice communities have been historically and are currently underrepresented in decision-making processes. Please help us to understand any gaps in our outreach by including if you are from or represent any of the communities previously mentioned.

Please contact ODOE if you have questions or need any accommodations to provide input.
