JAN. 2 2009:NWLP 12/29/08 10:02 AM Page 6 Oregon Energy Planning Council formed Bob Shiprack will be part of group charged with forecasting state’s energy needs, supply, and to map transition to renewable energy future SALEM — Bob Shiprack, chair of the Energy Facility Siting Council, has been appointed an ex-officio member of the newly created Oregon Energy Planning Council. Shiprack is executive director of the Oregon State Building and Con- struction Trades Council. The new 11-member Oregon En- ergy Planning Council was created late last month by Executive Order of Gov. Ted Kulongoski. The council is charged with providing proactive analysis, advice and assistance on en- ergy planning. It will issue an energy planning report to the governor and the Legislature before Dec. 31, 2010, that will include information on Ore- gon’s current energy use and supply. The report will also include analysis of future energy needs, challenges to price and supply stability for Oregon citizens and businesses, analysis of any energy supply gaps, alternatives to meet Oregon’s energy needs and short, medium and long range energy plans for meeting Oregon’s energy de- mands. “Demands on Oregon’s energy supply are going to increase in the fu- ture, whether it’s from a growing pop- ulation or a growing economy,” Ku- longoski said. “We have set Oregon on a path to a renewable energy future but also need to make sure we address stability and supply concerns as we make that transition. This council will help us chart that course.” The 11 members of the Oregon Energy Planning Council are: Chair Ron Adams, Oregon Sate University College of Engineering; Mark Maher, Western Energy Coordinating Coun- cil; Stephen Grover, ECO Northwest; Marty Sedler, Intel; Bob Jenks, Citi- zens’ Utility Board; Rachel Shim- shak, Renewable Northwest Project; Steve Wright, Bonneville Power Ad- ministration; Gregg Kantor, NW Nat- ural; Peggy Fowler, PGE; Pat Reiten, PacifiCorp; and Mark Edlen, Gerding Edlen. In addition to Shiprack, officials from nine boards and commissions (Agriculture, Forestry, Economic De- velopment, Environmental Quality, Fish and Wildlife, Transportation, Public Utilities, Oregon Global Warming, the Oregon Investment Council, and Land, Conservation & Development) will serve as ex-officio members to the new council. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 12, 2009. ...Labor welcomes Solis nomination for labor secretary (From Page 1) Labor Law Conference slated Feb. 27 The 13th annual Oregon Labor Law Conference will be held Friday, Feb. 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the IBEW Local 48 union hall, 15937 NE Airport Way.
