Municipalities and special districts across Oregon can realize significant energy savings by improving the energy performance of water and wastewater treatment facilities.
For pressure-reduction valves, Energy Trust can also provide incentives for projects that use hydropower to generate clean energy while reducing pressure along the water system.
Temporary pause on new incentive applications for electric equipment upgrades
Energy Trust is currently not accepting new incentive applications for electric equipment upgrades due to strong customer demand for our incentives. We expect to resume accepting incentive applications for electric equipment upgrades by March 2021 with revised incentive amounts and eligibility requirements.
We have taken this step to manage our available budget. We understand that this disruption will be challenging, and we appreciate your understanding.

Project site must be located in Oregon and served by Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas or Avista and contribute to the public purpose charge. Incentives are subject to funding availability and may change.
