Tell Governor Kotek: Protect Reliable, Affordable Power

A recent court decision, stemming from litigation supported by Governor Kotek, will change the operations of the hydroelectric dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. These changes will increase rates and decrease the reliability of Oregon’s electric grid, affecting families and communities.

The dams provide affordable, dependable, carbon-free electricity that powers homes, farms, schools and small businesses across the state and region. Governor Kotek’s legal actions reduce the amount of hydroelectricity produced by the dams. This impacts your community by jeopardizing system reliability, increasing costs, and requiring more expensive, carbon-intensive replacement electricity generation sources.

Oregonians deserve transparency and a voice in decisions that increase their electricity bills and threaten reliability.

Send your letter today and urge Governor Kotek to protect reliable, affordable power for Oregon.
