About the Oregon Department of Energy
At the Oregon Department of Energy , we're helping to shape the state's energy future. Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and efficiency while supporting energy innovation, investment, and resilience. From helping individual Oregonians save energy at home to overseeing the state's interests in the world's largest environmental cleanup at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington, our work is challenging, rewarding, and diverse. We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring smart, engaged team members who are ready to deliver for Oregonians.

Working for the Energy Siting Division
ODOE's Energy Facility Siting Division supports the Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC), a governor-appointed citizen committee responsible for siting and regulating energy facilities in Oregon. Siting division staff oversee an inclusive, thorough process in which proposed energy facilities are reviewed and analyzed for their ability to meet all local and state standards. The work is coordinated with local and regional governments, state and federal agencies, project developers and contractors, tribal governments, and community stakeholders providing public input. With the results of this work, plus itional Division support, the Council considers proposals for and makes decisions on large electricity-generating facilities, high voltage transmission lines, some gas pipelines, and radioactive waste disposal sites. Strong oversight ensures Oregonians can count on an accessible, transparent process that supports an adequate supply of energy for the state while protecting public safety and the environment. In ition to general support, the Division also monitors facilities on EFSC's behalf, from proposal and pre-construction through to construction completion, ongoing compliance, and decommissioning.
