Oregon's done just fine, thanks to California. The California power crisis had been lucrative to Northwest utilities. Oregon has had very favorable sales of power to California. The reason utilities wouldn't do long-term contracts on renewables several years ago was because they said it wasn't financially feasible. All of their renewables are their biggest money savers now.
Wind is less expensive than natural gas right now.
Oregon is one of the few gifted states where you have all four of the main renewable energy resources. You have wind along the Columbia River, plenty of solar throughout the state, geothermal and significant vegetation opportunities with biomass. You're very lucky. Oregon could go into full-sail efficiency with its resources right now. When you have a good year, you have hydroelectric, too.
