Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signs ambitious energy bill
Oregons clean energy bill, which sets one of the most ambitious timelines in the country for moving to 100% clean electricity sources, was signed by Gov. Kate Brown on Tuesday.
The legislation lays out a timetable for the states two major power companies Portland General Electric and Pacific Power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity sold to Oregon consumers.
Additionally, it bans the expansion or new construction of power plants that burn fossil fuels and allocates $50 million in grants for community-based energy projects, among other measures.
