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.

hard-working Americans who are the
backbone of our nation’s struggling
economy and a return to shared pros-

compensated, that our nation prospers,”
Chamberlain said.
