A representative from Energy Trust of Oregon updated Redmond council on the organization’s first multiyear plan and invited regional stakeholders to a board meeting and tour in Redmond later this year.

The presenter described Energy Trust as a statewide independent nonprofit serving customers of investor‑owned utilities in Central Oregon and said the draft multiyear plan will guide work from 2026 through 2030. He invited public comment on the plan and said comments are accepted through Sept. 15. He also announced that Energy Trust will hold its annual board of directors meeting in Redmond on Sept. 25 at the SCP Hotel, accompanied by a regional tour of Central Oregon energy projects and a community outreach event that evening.

Council asked for a copy of the proposed multiyear plan and staff agreed to share it with city contacts. The Energy Trust representative emphasized the plan links energy efficiency and generation goals with priorities for serving underserved communities.

Why it matters: the multiyear plan outlines incentives and technical assistance that can affect local energy projects, efficiency programs and funding opportunities.

Next steps: council staff will receive the draft plan for review and transmit it to interested councilmembers; submissions are due to Energy Trust by Sept. 15.
