RESOURCES

ODOE’s Community Navigator program is designed to empower local communities throughout the state of Oregon in their pursuit of energy solutions. We believe that everyone deserves access to the resources and knowledge needed to create a more safe, equitable, ​clean, and sustainable future.​
How we can help:

• Connecting Communities: We act as a bridge between state and federal funding opportunities, technical assistance programs, and local needs.
• Foster Collaboration: We facilitate communication and collaboration between communities, tribal governments, local organizations, and utilities.
• Empower Local Solutions: We provide the tools and support communities need to develop and implement their own energy projects, through building consensus and supporting their energy initiatives.
• Data and Resources: We provide access to valuable data and resources to inform decision-making processes.
  

Our focus areas:

• Local governments and community organizations: Support Tribes, cities, counties, and community organizations, including those assisting underserved communities, in energy planning, programs and solutions.
• Community resiliency: Assist communities in developing plans and strategies to prepare for and respond to power outages and other energy disruptions.
• Energy solutions: Promote energy efficiency and renewable energy development programs and initiatives that help communities save money and reduce their carbon footprint.
