I Message from the Executive Director Oregon’s energy future is bright. Across the state, families, businesses and communities are lowering their energy bills, and cl

being generated with investments from the Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc. In 2003, its first full year of operation, Energy Trust 

positive and palpable difference in over 16,000 households and businesses, the economies of over 100 communities, and the e

economic health of our entire state. 

By the end of 2003, Energy Trust programs – developed and implemented with the support of our utility partners, peer organ

trade allies – helped save or produce nearly 32 average megawatts (aMW) of electricity and 208,000 therms of natural gas, en

23,000 homes for a year. Our renewable energy investments supported more than 70 new grid-tied solar electric systems an

And that’s just the beginning. 

Our sights are set on the future. By 2012, our goal is to help Oregonians save 300 aMW of electricity and 19 million annual tmeet 10 percent of Oregon’s energy needs through renewable sources. Combined, that’s enough power to offset the need foconventional fossil-fueled power plants. This annual report reviews the progress we made toward that goal in 2003, our first full year of operation. Impressive strides 

initial start-up phase, introducing programs across the state and continuously improving their effectiveness. By year’s end, five 

programs were fully implemented and two additional programs were in development. Completed projects – from energy efficefficiency gas furnaces – delivered 17.5 aMW in electricity savings and 208,223 therms. Coupled with committed projects, tot

double our 2003 goal of saving 21aMW. 

Energy Trust renewable resource programs exceeded our 2003 goal by over 1milllion kilowatt hours (kWh). We delivered 1

78 wind and solar projects, including the Combine Hills wind farm. The Solar Electric program, launched mid-year, reached it

doubling the number of Oregon grid-tied photovoltaic systems by the end of 2003. 

It is exciting to see our work pay off in measurable kilowatts and therms, and gratifying to provide Oregonians with cash savin

Also satisfying are the long-term benefits our investments are delivering, including reduced environmental impacts such as grehedge against future energy cost increases and preservation of Oregon’s natural beauty. 

These are the results that drive us toward the future. As we move into 2004, the Energy Trust is committed to its partnershi

Oregon Department of Energy and others to align our efforts to create an environmentally sound energy future for Oregon. 

and all the others who are making our success possible – our volunteer board, staff, contractors, trade allies, the Oregon Pub

especially our first program participants. Sincerely, Margie Harris Executive Director 
II 2003 Highlights: More Services for More Oregonians Carpe diem was the Energy Trust motto in 2003. We seized all 365 days of the year, launching six new programs, expanding 

doubling program funding. With a lean staff of 26 and the support of four program contractors, three utilities, the Oregon DeNorthwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, a network of over 250 trade allies and numerous others, we delivered cost-effective en

renewable energy programs throughout Oregon and set the pace for the next eight years. We’re proud of the results. Savings for over 16,000 participants With cash incentives, we’ve made it affordable for Oregonians to reduce energy use and produce renewable power in homes 

state. Improved efficiency and renewable energy use provides utility customers with a hedge against future energy cost increa

Rapid launching of new services In 2003, we mobilized diverse resources and initiated six major programs for Oregon customers of PGE and Pacific Power: B

Energy Savings, Production Efficiency, Solar Electric, New Building Efficiency and Solar Water Heating. Expansion into NW Natural territory Through an agreement with NW Natural, we expanded our residential and commercial programs to include gas customers. Support for Oregon businesses Energy Trust programs helped our 257 trade allies build their Oregon-based businesses. Incentive payments allowed nearly 65

industrial participants to make capital investments, manage energy payments and be more competitive. Meeting projections for 2012 We’re well on our way to meeting our 2012 goals for energy savings and renewable power production. Electric savings and c

double our 2003 goal, natural gas savings are gaining momentum, and renewable energy produced and committed is on targetCollaboration and constant improvement The Energy Trust enhanced program effectiveness by collaborating continuously with the three utilities, the Oregon Departm

conducting independent program evaluations and making constant improvements. Cleaner air today and tomorrow With the energy saved and renewable power produced to date, we’ve offset tons of pollutants that would have been generatplants – the equivalent of 309.5 million miles not driven.

V Our Vision: 2004 and Beyond

An Oregon with... More jobs Stronger businesses Lower energy costs Productive work environments Comfortable homes A cleaner environment Energy sources that allow us to preserve Oregon’s resources and natural beauty for future generations 

This is the vision that will guide the Energy Trust in the year ahead. We’ve built a solid foundation that will grow stronger as 

existing programs and introduce new programs to serve more people. New initiatives will provide energy efficiency services and incentives for homebuilders, commercial builders and developers anpurchase efficient home appliances. Renewable resource programs will increase the amount of utility-scale wind development
