Who We Are
Energy Trust of Oregon is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping customers and communities reduce costs and achieve additional benefits by saving energy and installing small, renewable energy and battery storage systems. Since 2002, we’ve helped customers save $7.2 billion on their utility bills, enough energy to power all the homes in the Portland Metro area and heat all the homes in Lane County. For every $1 we invest in energy efficiency, customers will save $3.50.
