Who We Are
We’re committed to your energy. Energy that powers lives, strengthens communities and promotes social, economic and environmental progress.
136 years ago, we built the first long-distance power line from Willamette Falls to Downtown Portland. Today, PGE powers nearly half of Oregon’s population and two-thirds of the state’s commercial and industrial activity.
Our commitment to customers
We are committed to powering a growing community with reliable, increasingly clean energy while working to keep customer bills as low as possible.
With us, peace of mind comes standard
Clean, safe, and affordable power to fuel your work, your home, your dreaming and playing. All available at the flip of a switch. If only everything in life was this reliable!
We’ve made plans for our future. And yours.
The future craves a new way of thinking about energy. It’ll need a new type of partnership among us — one that powers your life in dynamic new ways, gives you more tools to save and earn and helps you participate in the clean energy future today.
That future is for everyone
The future includes all of us – a diverse mix of individuals and communities. After all, it’s a better kind of energy when everyone gets to be a part of it.
Climate goals
You know the can that keeps getting kicked down the road? We picked it up.
Someone has to do something about climate change. And that someone is us. That’s why we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power we serve our customers at least 80% by 2030. With a partnership between you and us we’ll create an energy ecosystem that’s dynamic, flexible, reliable and affordable, for everyone.
Innovative energy
Energy lives on a two-way street
It’s no longer a case of we produce it, you consume it. Today’s energy is clean, fluid and dynamic – with wind, solar, smart grids, battery storage, efficiency, and innovative ideas and programs. It’s a constantly moving dance between good partners.
Community involvement
Every great organization has a purpose. Ours is you.
We’re a utility. We’re here to serve. But we also live here. So, it should be no surprise that community is at the core of what we do. For over a hundred years we’ve been investing in the needs of the communities we serve.
Resource planning
To make sure everyone has access to the clean, safe, reliable and affordable electric power they need, we engage in a complex Integrated Resource Planning process that is guided by the Oregon Public Utility Commission with generous input from the public.
Sustainability reporting
We are committed to transparency as we lead the way to a clean energy future. You can view data about our operations, and learn about our sustainability practices and our impact in our annual sustainability reports.
