ODOE employs approximately 123 employees. The Energy Planning & Innovation Division works daily to help Oregonians make informed decisions and advance solutions to shape an equitable clean energy transition. The division does this by providing options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, increasing energy efficiency in all sectors across the state, reducing energy costs and energy burden for Oregonians, and diversifying Oregon’s fuel resources and electricity portfolio to provide Oregonians cleaner and more efficient alternatives. This creates safer, healthier, more resilient communities.
