📣HUGE shout out to Governor Kotek for her support of HB 4080 which establishes labor standards, funds state agencies, and calls for an Offshore Wind roadmap for the state of Oregon. Thank you!!
Offshore wind can play a critical role in meeting our state’s goal of 100% renewable energy by 2040.
HB 4080 will help Oregon take the next step to work with communities on the South Coast.
That's a wrap! A huge thank you to all our @RenewableNW members who attended the 2023 fall retreat in Cannon Beach. So great to catch up with everyone in person & get into the nitty gritty on some important issues. Safe travels back home & see you soon on the next update call.
Good Morning! Day 2 of @RenewableNW 2023 Fall Member Retreat. Thank you @CreativeRenew for a dynamic & informative presentation on the state of the market in the PNW. Looking forward to our breakout sessions today. Thanks again to our generous sponsors.
@RenewableNW is hiring! Come join our team and help build a clean energy future. Renewable NW is looking for an Offshore Wind Policy Manager. Visit our website for more details: https://t.co/oFZNuIcOIA
@renewablenw is proud to be part of the Oregon Clean Grid Collaborative! OUR GOAL: Ensure energy market and regional transmission planning processes deliver meaningful benefits for Oregon customers, communities, and workers. #cleanenergyfuture
Advocates representing clean energy, environmental justice, and labor groups have launched the Oregon Clean Grid Collaborative to ensure that West-wide grid planning decisions deliver meaningful benefits for customers, communities, and workers in Oregon. https://t.co/2yZbOS2qKR
JUST ANNOUNCED | We have proposed 2 Draft Wind Energy Areas off the Oregon coast to facilitate the delivery of clean wind power in the region.
We invite review and public comment on these Draft WEAs. Join an upcoming public meeting to learn more.

We’re excited to announce this year’s CUB Energy Policy Conference: Building(s) for an Equitable Energy Future! Registration opens July 26. https://t.co/vtSfeEjMMV
In addition to climate benefits, achieving #netzeroemissions also reduces pollutant emissions that have a direct health impact: avoided deaths, fewer lost workdays, & fewer hospital admissions = economy-wide savings of up to $8.9B/year in 2050 for the NW.

What does #netzeroemissions by 2050 look like in the Northwest? We get close to zero for energy & industry, but emissions remain from agriculture & certain industrial processes. We will need negative emissions technologies to remove & sequester carbon. https://t.co/kCftqYJuER
There's new research out from @CETransition and @evolved_energy looking at net-zero economy wide in the PNW by 2050 (modeled after the Net-Zero America/REPEAT studies). Worth a look though and a consideration of the ambition here.

In addition to the energy pathways analysis, our new #NetZeroNorthwest study also looks at the health & economic co-benefits of reducing criteria pollutants when achieving net-zero emissions.

🚨New @CETransitionstudy shows that a relatively clean electric grid, bold climate policies, and federal funding for clean energy make the Northwest poised to lead on decarbonization, particularly with clean fuels. https://t.co/Z2rokDFJHN
Today we are excited to release the nation’s first regional economy-wide net-zero pathways analysis, with modeling by Evolved Energy Research. Explore pathways to net-zero emissions by 2050 in the Northwest. #NetZeroNorthwest 👇 https://t.co/XtzyawXyhg
This provision of the IRA will make it easier for local governments, Tribes, territories, nonprofits, schools, houses of worship and more to invest in clean energy, allowing them to save money, improve public health, and better serve their communities.
