Innovative Energy
Innovation has always been at the heart of Portland General Electric. We're constantly developing new ways to bring you more efficient, reliable and renewable energy — leading the way to put new technology to work for customers.
A smarter, more integrated grid is the foundation
A smart energy grid is dynamic, flexible and responsive. It is the foundation of all kinds of new renewable energy projects, and it's the key to creating our clean energy future.
Energy Innovation
We've always been innovators. The first long-distance transmission of power in the nation? That was us. Back in 1889, from Willamette Falls to Portland. We're still imagining what energy production, storage and transmission could look like, and how to make it cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable. Want to be inspired? Here are a few of the innovative energy projects we are working on today.
