What Oregon power is made of

In plain words. Hydro is the biggest source in Oregon (45%), and the power made there is cleaner than the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 21 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 429 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Oregon plants of 1 MW or more made 64.3 TWh. The biggest sources: hydro 44.7%, natural gas 35.6%, wind 13.9%. For comparison, hydro makes 5.5% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 62.8% (22.6% for the U.S.). Oregon plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

Analyst note

Oregon residential power was 41st highest of 51 in 2015 at 10.66 ¢ and is 28th in 2024 at 14.70 ¢, so the state moved up 13 places. The U.S. figure went 12.65 to 16.48 ¢ while Oregon went +37.9%. The biggest annual move was 2024 at +15.5%; the latest year, 2024, came in at +15.5% against +3.0% for the U.S. Business customers paid 8.80 ¢ in 2015 and 10.11 ¢ in 2024, a gap to homes of -1.86 ¢ then and -4.59 ¢ now; industry went from 5.97 to 8.05 ¢ (+34.8%). Reliability worsened at the 7 Oregon utilities that report in both years: their median SAIDI went from 75 minutes in 2015 to 99 in 2024, +32%, against a U.S. median reporter of 99.
