Will Oregon's New Energy Commitment Yield More Solar Panel Leads In July, Oregon made it official: the state’s electricity providers will be required to provide customers with 100% clean energy by 2040. This puts Oregon among the few states who have made such a commitment, and the timeline for conversion ties with New York for the fastest. This is great news for Oregon’s renewables industry. But while utility scale benefits are
obvious, do smaller solar contractors have anything to look forward to? Let’s explore what the new energy commitment means for installers and whether or not the initiative will result in more solar panel leads.
What Does the New Policy Cover? The goal of the policy is to quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with grid energy production and distribution.
To accomplish this, the plan is mandating incremental emission reductions, based on a baseline figure from 2010. The targets are as follows: 80% by 2030 90% by 2035 100% by 2040 By the time the 2040 goal will be reached, Oregon’s electricity production should essentially be completely free of emissions. The policy blocks the construction or expansion of dirty power plants. In order to meet the emissions targets, utility providers will be forced to adopt cleaner energy sources, such as hydropower and solar.
Will More Solar Customers Come Into the Market?
As Oregon’s utility grid converts to 100% clean power, the concept of green energy will become mainstream. The plan’s investment in community energy projects will further raise the profile of renewables and grow awareness around the benefits of solar.
This greater visibility will drive interest in residential solar, especially if some of the criticisms of the policy bear true. Both political and utility figures have expressed concern that the rapid transition to renewables will at least temporarily result in higher electricity prices and greater supply instability. If residential utility customers are faced with these issues, the cost-saving and self-sufficiency perks of solar installations will become all the more attractive.
