Onshore Wind Potential

A 2012 NREL study indicates Oregon has technical potential for 27 GW of onshore wind power. Much of this technical potential along the Cascades and in Southeastern Oregon is undeveloped due to challenges finding sites for projects and transmission corridors that meet the requirements to limit environmental effects from wind projects on sensitive environments and communities, as well as costs.

Resilient Microgrids

Microgrids in Oregon are employed in a wide range of situations today and most often rely on diesel or propane generators to provide emergency back-up power in case of a grid outage. These types of systems are especially common with certain types of commercial and industrial customers. Meanwhile, rapid declines in the cost for solar and battery storage systems have led to an emerging interest in the deployment of microgrid systems based on these technologies, particularly at facilities that provide critical lifeline services to communities.
