Oregon Renewable Energy Siting Assessment (ORESA) Project:
Opportunities and Constraints Survey

This survey is part of the Oregon Renewable Energy Siting Assessment (ORESA) project, launched by the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) along with its project partners - the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon State University’s Institute of Natural Resources (INR) - which is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) is working closely with the Oregon DLCD and ODOE to collect and assess data and information relevant to renewable energy development planning.

The purpose of this survey is to obtain information to help identify opportunities and constraints from the perspective of multiple stakeholders from across the state. This survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Please feel free to forward this survey to anyone who would be interested in contributing to this assessment.
