Energize Oregon

Energize Oregon stimulated the development and adoption of on-farm energy projects by agricultural producers in the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon Coast. In partnership with USDA NRCS, Energy Trust of Oregon, and the Oregon Department of Energy, Northwest SEED facilitated the transition from project concept to implementation by:

• forming strategic partnerships
• developing tools to overcome project development hurdles
• coordinating the financing and installation of systems
• publishing results so that others can replicate project successes
