About Electrify Oregon

Powering the future, empowering communities

As Oregonians, we care about our neighbors, and we want to ensure that our children and our grandchildren will have a healthy future. We also know that time is of the essence. Our future depends on bold and broad action right now.

Thanks to the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Oregonians can access millions in financial incentives to make important changes to our homes and transportation. Unfortunately few are aware of the IRA, much less how to navigate its programs, which expire after 2032. So the next 6-8 years are critical for action.

Community Powered

Electrify Oregon is a growing network of volunteer-powered grassroots groups working in local communities to catalyze Oregon’s transition from fossil fuels to clean energy and home & vehicle electrification. Our mission is to build a ‘fan base’ of people in every community across the state who will lead the way with voluntary action and inspire their neighbors through education, coaching and advocacy to bring about inclusive, community-wide electrification. (See participating groups)

Our local groups engage and empower residents with information, motivation, and a sense of community support through:

  • Education and outreach - e.g. hosting talks, home tours, electrification fairs, curating information for people at all income levels, tabling at public events, distributing yard signs and conducting social media outreach
  • Assistance with upgrades/ Removing barriers to action - e.g. home energy advising and planning, contractor connections, finding incentives and gap financing
  • Policy advocacy/Incentivizing electrification - e.g. local policy change campaigns, public testimony, op-eds, educating leaders, etc
