In 2012, Oregon experimented with the legislative equivalent of speed dating, conducting a session in a mere 30 days. As might be expected, there was very little ambition for energy efficiency issues in such a short session. Ambition met reality this year. 2012 was a year to ensure no policy backsliding in Salem and the session will conclude with no changes to things like the Energy Trust of Oregon or to the now limited tax credit for energy efficiency expenditures by Oregon businesses.
 The Northwest Energy Efficiency Council transitioned to the name Building Potential in 2024. The organization’s legal name remains the same and the Board of Directors and Staff have not changed. |
