Solarize Lake Oswego
The City of Lake Oswego and LOSN teamed up with Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO) and Solar Oregon for a Solarize campaign, July 1 through Aug. 31, to make it easy for homeowners to install solar.
Now’s a great opportunity to install solar while 30% federal tax credits are still available—they end December 31, 2025.
Why install solar? It saves money on annual electricity bills and it’s good for the environment. As more residents go solar, it helps build a more sustainable community. Plus, you can add battery storage to solar for back-up power during outages.
For more information about the campaign check out the ETO Solarize Lake Oswego webpage.

Help Your Trees Survive the Summer Heat
Summer heat can be extremely hard on trees, especially landscape trees in our urban forest. If they are not well-watered, harsh temperatures make trees more susceptible to insects and disease. Extended periods of drought can cause stress in both newly planted and mature, well-established trees. We have collected tree care tips from the City of Lake Oswego, Friends of Trees and Portland Parks & Recreation to help you shift into summer plant care mode and help your landscapes handle and recover from spans of extreme heat.
Now is an excellent time to go electric–let an electric coach help you.
Going electric — in your home and your vehicle — is the single best way to reduce your carbon footprint. It also increases comfort and can save you money.
But if you’re looking for valuable tax credits, you’ll need to act quickly. The electric vehicle tax credit expires September 30 and the home energy tax credits expire December 31, 2025. Fortunately, at Electrify Oregon we have well-trained, volunteer electric coaches who are ready to help you kickstart your electrification journey. They’ll help you create a plan, find contractors, and take advantage of available credits and incentives. They live here in Lake Oswego and know local resources.

Electrify Oregon is a growing network of 22 volunteer-powered grassroots groups, including LOSN, working in local communities to catalyze Oregon’s transition to clean energy and home & vehicle electrification.
