Oregon Department of Energy

Energy Trust and the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) have coordinated program planning and delivery since we were created in 2002. The department provides technical and program oversight for conservation retrofits funded by utility ratepayers in public K-12 schools served by Portland General Electric or Pacific Power.

ODOE’s mission is broad. As a state agency, its work includes energy facility siting, nuclear safety, emergency preparedness and energy resource planning. ODOE covers all utility service areas (including the five investor-owned utilities Energy Trust serves), all fuels, and transportation and demand management.

For more information visit the ODOE website.

Oregon Housing and Community Services

Energy Trust and Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) have coordinated program planning and delivery since we were created in 2002. The department administers utility ratepayer funds allotted for low-income weatherization and bill payment assistance.

OHCS administers energy and weatherization programs through local community action agencies and other community service providers. Visit OHCS for more information.

Federal Agencies

Federal grants and loan programs are available through agencies like the U.S. Department of Energy or the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In addition, federal tax credits may be available for the installation of energy-efficient equipment and improvements and renewable energy systems.

Information about federal tax credits that may be available for your project is available on our cash incentives pages.
