Energy in Oregon

[1] Hydroelectric power dominates the power market in Oregon, providing nearly two-thirds of the electricity generated in the state, although it accounts for only 38.91% of the total percentage consumed when electricity imported from other states is accounted for.

This is mostly due to recent reserves of natural gas being found in Coos Bay, OR.

As well as persistent extraction from the Mist Field in northwest Oregon, near Astoria.

[4] The energy used in Oregon comes mainly from hydroelectric power at 38.91%, coal at 26.47%, natural gas at 21.50%, and wind at 7.01%.
