Oregon at a glance
Oregon's Columbia River hydroelectric generation keeps rates low, with drought years the main risk to that position since low reservoirs force replacement power purchases. Retail service is largely regulated. The climate is unusually mild by national standards: cooling load west of the Cascades is genuinely small, though rising summer extremes are changing that.
