Procuring Clean Energy

Building Community-Based Renewable Energy (CBRE)

PGE solicited bids for a CBRE Request for Offers (RFO) through Sept 5, 2025, to unlock potential in our service territory for projects that are:

  • Renewable: Small-scale (<20 MW in aggregate), interconnected to our transmission or distribution system.

  • Dispatchable Capacity: Paired with a dispatchable capacity product.

  • Community Benefit: Providing direct benefit(s) to a particular community.

We are currently evaluating bids received and collecting learnings from the process to inform our next efforts in this direction.

Those interested in future opportunities may email CBRE@pgn.com with questions and requests to be added to our email list for updates.
