Shaping Our Future Through Strategic Planning
Unlocking the benefits of clean energy requires long-term commitment and laser focus. To create the future we want—one where the environment is protected, people’s homes are safe and healthy, and communities are resilient and thriving—we need to outline actions today that set up success for the next generations.
Building on our decades-long history of success, we are accelerating our work to help Oregon utilities and customers address these challenges. Our strategic plan guides our work, outlining Energy Trust’s role and focus areas for the coming years.
The Benefits We Will Deliver
- Clean energy solutions that can lower energy use and generate clean power, helping utility customers—including those with low and moderate incomes, rural customers and people of color—save immediately on their bills and communities become more energy resilient
- Reduced demand for electricity and natural gas, helping utilities avoid more expensive system investments
- More energy efficiency than before, helping keep rates lower than they would be otherwise for all customers
The Future We Are Planning For
- Extreme weather events will require resilient homes that can withstand
extreme temperatures and wildfire smoke - Energy affordability challenges will require solutions that help people control
their costs and help utilities keep rates as low as possible - Despite federal policy changes, Oregon will remain committed to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions through clean energy solutions - Funding for clean energy will create new opportunities to serve more
customers, especially those facing high energy burdens - Higher demand for Energy Trust programs and services
