About Energy Trust
Since March 2002, Energy Trust has helped utility customers improve energy efficiency, generate renewable power, save money, protect the environment and strengthen our economy. Our investments to date will save Oregon utility customers approximately $8.2 billion on their bills over time.
By the end of 2019, we had helped Oregonians save and generate enough clean energy to power 780,000 Oregon homes and heat another 140,000 homes with natural gas. Over 17 years, we have served more than 698,000 households, 45,000 commercial sites and 6,000 industrial and agricultural sites.
We help keep energy costs as low as possible for all Oregonians. Saving energy costs utility customers less than building fossil fuel power plants. Utilities rely on these energy savings as a resource to meet future energy needs for their customers.
