This report, sponsored by the Portland Development Commission and Business Oregon, the two key economic development agencies within the state, evaluates Oregon’s standing in the U.S. clean-energy economy. The report leverages data from Clean Edge’s 2011 State Clean Energy Leadership Index, a subscription-based research service that provides a unique perspective of U.S. clean-energy activity by aggregating and analyzing industry datasets from a variety of public, private, and Clean Edge sources.
The report highlights Oregon’s strongest areas of activity and compares the state’s performance against national averages and performances of five other top performing states chosen for their similar characteristics and high frequency of interstate competition: Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Texas. Topics covered include:
Clean Electricity
Clean Transportation
Energy Intelligence (green building, smart grid, efficiency)
Financial Capital
Workforce and Innovation
Policy structure
The following are excerpts and highlights from Oregon's Clean Energy Economy: A Clean Edge State Clean Energy Leadership Index Report. To read the full report, please open the PDF file by clicking on the “Download” links.
Oregon’s robust industry presence earned it a second-place ranking in the 2011 State Clean Energy Leadership Index. Trailing only California’s overall score of 95.3 (out of 100), Oregon’s score of 79.4 was enough to beat out the next three top performers Massachusetts, New York, and Colorado. Of the states compared against Oregon in this report, California scored highest, followed by Massachusetts at 71.8 (third place), Colorado with 60.2 (fifth), Texas at 47.6 (18th), and finally Arizona at 40.7 (24th). With only six states earning scores higher than 60 and a median U.S. score of 40.4, results of the State Clean Energy Leadership Index indicate that while examples of clean-energy activity can be found in every corner of the nation, a clear top tier of states exhibits leadership across a wide variety of clean-energy sectors and activities.
Oregon enjoys a number of key assets, including:
A rich culture of early sustainability adopters
Proximity to large, ready markets in both California and Asia
World-class high-tech manufacturing and workforce expertise
Committed support from local and state government
Plentiful low-cost energy enabling strong business attraction
Oregon’s significant technology deployment, supportive government policies, and successful track record of capital attraction and job creation have given the state a prominent standing in the U.S. clean-energy industry. But with increased domestic and foreign industry competition, and an overall economic climate that has left most states constrained for capital, business as usual will not guarantee Oregon a lasting competitive edge.
