Budget

​​​​​​​​Like other Oregon state agencies, ODOE operates under a one-biennium (two-​year) budget process. 


2025-27 ODOE Budget​ Development

The Oregon Department of Energy submitted its Agency Requ​est Budget for the 2025-2027 biennium on August 1, 2024. 

Governor Kotek issued her Recommended Budget in December 2024.​ Next up, the Legislature will discuss the state budget during the 2025 Legislative Session.​

Save the Date! ​ODOE is tentatively scheduled to present its budget to the Joint ​Ways & Means Subcommittee on Natural Resources​ on February 10-11, 2025.​
​
​ODOE held a public budget meeting on July 29, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. to walk through our
2025-2027 Agency Request Budget. Learn more in the materials below.

2023-25 ODOE Budget​

The Oregon Department of Energy's Legislatively Adopted Budget ​for the 2023-2025 biennium is $204 million. This includes funding for ODOE programs across the agency and about 118 staff (FTE). For 2023-2025, there is an increase in General Fund and Federal Funds for several energy incentive and rebate programs.

The Biennial Budget Process​

​We begin developing our next biennium budget about a year in advance. The budget development process has three major phases:​
  • Agency Request Budget - ODOE starts with the previous biennium's budget, then adds, removes, or adjusts the budget based on program needs and policy responsibilities.
  • Governor's Recommended Budget - The Governor's Office and the Chief Financial Office build on and may revise the Agency Request Budget. The results are presented to the Legislature for consideration.
  • Legislatively Adopted Budget - Legislative committees review proposed budgets and hold public hearings before the full Legislature votes on each agency's budget.
