For electricity generation purposes, the state of Oregon's main fuel is Conventional Hydroelectric, making up 26,575,920.71 megawatt hours, or 41.76% of generation in the state. When combined with Natural Gas (38.25%) and Wind (14.95%), these three fuel types account for 60,438,528.71 megawatt hours (or 94.96%) state electricity generation. Electricity consumption in the state results in the release of 9,840,300,642.12 kilograms of CO2 emissions per year, which is 40th largest emissions amount in the nation. More importantly, the state averages 2,320.75 kilograms of CO2 emissions per person in the state, which is a better measurement of the state's emission levels. They rank 44th highest in the United States for emissions per citizen. Oregon has 255 power plants, which is the 13th highest number of power plants in a state and the 15th highest amount of power plants per person in a state.

There are 39 companies in Oregon offering electricity. Of those 39, 94.87% of them offer some type of net metering option for their customers, making solar panels and alternative electric sources more economically viable. The state of Oregon has highly favorable state level net metering legislation.

The average energy loss for electricity providers in Oregon is 2.94%. This includes data from 20 providers, including Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, and Eugene Water and Electric Board. The nationwide average for energy loss is 2.43%, resulting in a rank of 26th best in the nation for Oregon in this category.

State governments can help encourage private citizens to consider installing private solar panels by issuing tax breaks and rebates. Oregon, unfortunately, has no statewide tax credits offered to residents who purchase solar panels. Citizens in the state enjoy rebates for solar installs of over $500. This is the highest amount we've seen in the United States. Oregon offers homeowners a 100% tax exemption that lasts less than 10 years. Fortunately, citizens in the state have a 100% sales tax exemption for the purchase of solar at a home. Can't beat that!

Legislation drawn up at the state level determines whether a state is friendly towards customers searching for renewable energy sources. Many states require renewable fuels to make up a percentage of the fuel used for electricity generation. These requirements are referred to as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). The state of Oregon has made strong efforts to create an RPS plan of action that requires at least 25% of electricity output to be fueled by renewable fuel types. In addition, the state has a low income solar program in place to assist low income households installing solar panels.
