The Oregon energy facility siting process has two major phases:

1. Phase 1 - The applicant (Idaho Power) submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) to ODOE. The NOI describes the proposed facility in general terms, provides ODOE with the opportunity to gather public comment and enables state and local agencies to identify laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to the proposed facility.
2. Phase 2 - The second phase begins when the applicant submits a Preliminary Application for an Energy Facility Site Certificate to ODOE and EFSC and ends when the EFSC decides whether or not to issue a site certificate.
