The 2025 transmission package is moving through the Oregon Legislature—and two critical bills are coming up for key votes TOMORROW, Tuesday, April 8. By helping expand and modernize Oregon’s transmission capacity, these policies will help meet growing energy demands, increase resilience to severe weather events like wildfires, and deliver the benefits of new wind, solar, and other renewable resources to Oregon families and businesses.

Like other states, Washington needs to dramatically increase our supply of clean electricity to meet growing demand. That will require a bigger and better transmission system. Here's how states can navigate the obstacles and lead the way.
