It is an honor to serve with Oregon’s finest here at ORECA. I am hoping that our message can help show Oregonians the important role that rural Oregon plays in our future.”

Grassroots is a way members can contact elected officials to express support or opposition to bills that would affect their Co-op.”

Director/Treasurer, Hood River Electric Cooperative

When an 8th grade retired science teacher can get elected to an electric co-op board and then represent them on the ORECA board, ‘that’s Grassroots.’’

Our Issues
Our Emission-Free Heritage
Oregonians benefit from one of the most efficient and cleanest energy sources available, hydroelectricity. Increasingly taken for granted, some interests would like to see it disappear. Learn more about how invaluable this resource really is.
Co-op Members' Votes Matter
The most fundamental and important step we take as citizens and co-op members is participating in the election process. See how America's electric co-ops help their members register and vote.
Tax-Exempt Status
Oregon’s electric cooperatives are recognized as tax exempt organizations under the Internal Revenue Service code. In order to maintain a tax exempt status, an electric cooperative must receive at least 85% of all income from its members. Recent changes to the Internal Revenue Service code created an unintended consequence for electric cooperatives as government grants now may be considered non-member income.
