Implementing climate laws well<br />
To reach our state’s climate and clean<br />
energy goals, we need to implement the<br />
major climate laws that we’ve passed<br />
in recent years, including 100% Clean<br />
Electricity, the <strong>Climate</strong> Protection Program,<br />
the Building Resilience package of<br />
policies, and zero-emission vehicle and<br />
clean fuels policies. This includes us pushing<br />
policymakers for strong, meaningful<br />
rules and program rollout, scaling up<br />
from pilots to broad adoption, defending<br />
the policies as necessary, and removing<br />
barriers still in the way.<br />
This year we continued our strong advocacy<br />
in the Public Utility Commission<br />
(PUC) processes that ensure meaningful<br />
implementation of our 100% clean<br />
electricity law, HB 2021. Our two biggest<br />
utilities, PGE and PacifiCorp, released<br />
their proposed Clean Energy Plans to<br />
show how they’ll meet the clean energy<br />
requirements under the law. We are also<br />
increasingly focused on removing barriers<br />
related to siting and permitting processes,<br />
transmission, and markets.<br />
We engaged on the first offshore wind energy project on the<br />
horizon in Oregon, to ensure a robust, transparent, equitable<br />
and inclusive process took place.
