People can have an impact on the company’s plans through participation. Participation in the informal process can help to create more transparency, influence PGE’s plan as it is developed, and create space for direct input to PGE teams.
Transparency: what can people better see or understand by participating?
The considerations and priorities of PGE, OPUC Staff, and other participating groups
How PGE arrived at the action plan; what needs and opportunities PGE balanced during development of the plan
How the action plan meets PGE customer needs
Influence: what can people influence by participating?
The considerations and priorities PGE should consider during analysis and development of the action plan
How our analysis treats information like costs, prices, climate change data, etc.
Input: how does getting input from the public improve our plan?
You can show us our blind spots which PGE can incorporate into analysis and/ or the way we talk about our results
A wider range of life and professional experiences helps us identify actions which serve more people and types of communities
Attend our public meetings where we seek input and suggestions about our approach, priorities and the factors we should consider as we develop future plans. We host a technical and a non-technical meeting each month.
Members of the public, as well as government entities, non-profit organizations, community groups and businesses can participate in the IRP & CEP processes by attending a public meeting or requesting separate meetings with individuals or small groups.
The CEP/IRP Roundtable is our technical public venue where we communicate with stakeholders about the inputs, assumptions and constraints included in the models we use to construct PGE's preferred portfolio recommendation.
The Distribution System Workshops are sessions for community members and stakeholders who want to discuss, understand, and provide input on in-depth technical issues and decisions relating to our Distribution System Plan, Flex-load Multi-year Plan, Transportation Electrification Plan, and other demand-side programs and resources. These sessions focus on technical outreach, education, and feedback solicitation, with materials provided in advance to facilitate meaningful discussions.
The Office Hours are 1-hour sessions held about two weeks after a workshop, scheduled during the lunch hour. These sessions provide a chance to get follow-up questions answered and dive deeper into topics discussed.
