Oregon Electrification Leadership Summit

Opportunities Abound for Beneficial Electrification:

Advances in end-use technology and low-carbon electric generation, coupled with improvements in grid connectivity and consumer awareness and acceptance, have increased the value of beneficial electrification. This event will convene leaders from Oregon to discuss opportunities and challenges around further electrification of our economy.

As State and Federal agencies continue to release infrastructure investment funds, our goal is to help recipients navigate available opportunities and figure out how grant money can be used toward beneficial electrification programs and projects. While the concept of beneficial electrification is appealing, the question remains – how do we implement? This meeting will bring together stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds to discuss next steps to meeting both challenges and opportunities provided by advancements in electric technology.
