In Oregon, the Oregon Department of Energy published the Oregon Guidebook for Local Energy Resilience: for Small and Medium Electric Utilities, a technical resource for the 38 consumer-owned electric utilities (COUs) serving Oregon. The Guidebook will help COUs identify strategies and actions they can take to improve local energy resilience. The three core components of the Guidebook are: (1) business continuity planning for small and medium electric utilities; (2) the identification of strategic opportunities to target efficiency investments and deploy distributed renewables to improve community energy resilience; and (3) an overview of federal and state emergency management planning efforts and how electric utilities can interface with those processes.
