Charlotte Shuff and Jennifer Hill-Hart, June 20, 2024, CUB Energy Policy Conference
Last year, regulators found that Pacific Power did not have a plan to meet emission reduction requirements. Now, the utility has doubled down on its faulty plan. This time, it has moved further away from meeting clean energy goals cemented in Oregon law.
As we review the updated Clean Energy Plan for Oregon’s second-largest electric utility, CUB and other advocates are pushing for improvements. Recently, CUB joined the Sierra Club, Green Energy Institute, and other advocacy groups calling for regulators to take strong action against Pacific Power.
CUB would like to extend a huge thank you to Sierra Club’s Staff Attorney, Rose Monahan, for leading the charge in addressing Pacific Power’s faulty plan. Her analysis of the updated Clean Energy Plan has brought to light deep issues of reaching clean energy targets. She also brought in many community organizations to this advocacy work. Thank you for your hard work, Rose!
