OREGON PUBLIC ENERGY EXPENDITURES: 2010 – 2013, published Fall 2014.
Published by Portland State University, Center for Public Services, Hatfield School of Government, and the Northwest Economic Research Center. The study gathered primary data from the Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO), Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR), Oregon Legislative Fiscal Office (LFO), and the Engineering and Technology Industry Council (ETIC). The study shows that Oregon spends approximately $400 million each year on energy policy. However, expenditures for energy research and talent development are negligible and declining.
OREGON POWER ENGINEERING EDUCATION PROJECT, 2013.
Published by Portland State University, Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, this study identifies workforce gaps, Oregon University System program deficiencies, and provides recommendations for a collaborative approach toward meeting Oregon’s power engineering needs by using existing programs more effectively and partnering with the private sector.
ENERGY AT THE CROSSROADS, 2012.
A comprehensive compilation of data of supply and demand trends, price comparisons, environmental concerns, and emerging energy technologies. This document provides a framework for policymakers when considering the trends and technologies associated with traditional and emerging sources of energy.
A proposal submitted to the Oregon Innovation Council designed to identify and coordinate elements that would lead to sustained clean power technology growth, high-wage jobs, and an industry cluster that targets the creation of 8,600 new jobs in clean power technology companies by 2020.
A ROLE FOR ENERGY AND HIGHER EDUCATION IN OREGON’S PRIVATE SECTOR JOB GROWTH, 2012.
