The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) is the chief regulatory agency of the government of the U.S. state of Oregon responsible for matters related to energy production, conservation and related safety and environmental impact.[1] The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) is responsible for over 40 programs. The mission of the department is: "Leading Oregon to a safe, clean, and sustainable energy future." [2]
ODOE was established in 1975 by the Oregon Legislative Assembly as the culmination of recommendations of several task forces and study groups over several years.[3]
The largest source of renewable energy in Oregon is hydropower followed by coal and natural gas. Hydropower makes up 42.9% of the energy used in Oregon. The majority of Oregon's energy consumption comes from transportation, heating and cooling, and electricity.
