Join Climate Solutions and Building Resilience for a community event on Wednesday, December 10th to hear all about the dangers of methane in our communities!

The long-awaited Energy Strategy report is here, providing a roadmap for a clean energy transition, and, with the first-of-its-kind climate executive order from Governor Kotek that directs swift implementation of the findings, a cleaner, reliable, and more affordable energy future is more possible than ever before.

In recent rate cases, we have secured big wins for customers and the climate! This spring, we reached an agreement with Avista Gas to reduce climate pollution through an electrification pilot. In our NW Natural rate case, we have an agreement to eliminate gas subsidies for developers, and we are still fighting to improve energy choice for low-income customers.

Something is up, and unfortunately, it may be a higher utility bill for Oregon gas customers. In a time when communities are already bracing for Congressional Republicans’ new energy tax hike, NW Natural Gas Company is trying to raise costs on Oregonians as well. Even worse, they aim to raise our gas bills to boost their shareholders’ profits and invest in expensive fuels under the guise of decarbonization, rather than providing lower-income customers with the option to install an energy-efficient heat pump! Climate Solutions does not intervene in every rate case, but when we think there is an opportunity to protect customers and the climate, we enter the ring. This is one of those cases!

We’re officially over halfway through Oregon’s 2025 legislative session. Here’s the inside scoop on dynamics at the Capitol, the status of key clean energy and climate priorities, and how you can help keep the momentum going.

Join Climate Solutions and our partners for the Building Resilience Lobby Day at the State Capitol on Wednesday, May 7. Together, we’ll talk to legislators in Salem and push for bold action on climate, energy-efficient housing, and energy justice.

Today, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that controversial initiative 2066 violates several provisions of the the Washington State constitution.

While many of us are still reeling from the sticker shock we received from our energy bills after last year’s extreme winter weather, a new round of rate increases is right around the corner. If you are anything like me, many of you are thinking about those bills as you debate whether to turn up the heat or bundle up.

The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) recently delivered a significant victory for utility customers and the climate, requiring NW Natural Gas to end the charging of customers to subsidize fossil fuel expansion.
