About the Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan
PGE’s combined Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan and (CEP/IRP) marks the next step in our decarbonization journey and lays out a comprehensive roadmap for how we will meet customer energy needs and greenhouse gas emissions targets while maintaining reliability, safety and affordability. It will take all of us working together to get there.

About the 2023 Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan
In 2023, Portland General Electric filed its combined Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan, marking the next step in our decarbonization journey and laying out a comprehensive roadmap for how we will meet customer energy needs and greenhouse gas emissions targets while maintaining reliability and safety, keeping costs as low as possible.
Updates to the 2023 CEP/IRP
The 2023 CEP/IRP has been updated to reflect a changing political and economic environment and a once-in-a-generation increase in demand. The major changes revolve around these factors:
Uncertainties have increased regarding the most cost-effective path to accelerate emissions reductions due to external factors such as likely changes to federal tax credits, trade policy, and more.
Transmission solutions are integral to maintaining reliability and providing long-term pathways for decarbonized power supply, and recent events have introduced additional constraints on PGE’s transmission system.
Although updated analysis finds that 2030 emissions targets can be met by technologies and resources that are currently known and commercially available, assumed resource costs have increased, and the timing of additions may be constrained.
The landscape is continually evolving, and the 2023 CEP/IRP Update reflects the changes that have happened since the CEP/IRP’s original filing. With these updates, we continue to use this as a comprehensive roadmap for how we will meet customer energy needs and greenhouse gas emissions targets while maintaining reliability, safety and affordability. It will take all of us working together to get there.Our approach utilizes a wide range of clean energy tools sourced from our customers, communities and partners across the West – including wind, solar, battery storage, energy efficiency, demand response and community-based renewable energy. Above all, partnership is essential.We know we cannot implement these plans alone. Customers, state and local public officials and community stakeholders will each play a critical role in enabling a successful energy transition. It will take all of us to tackle challenges such as transmission constraints, the timely acquisition of new resources and creative solutions to supply chain issues and workforce needs.

2019 IRP
We believe our 2019 IRP represents the very best path forward as we continue to move aggressively to cut greenhouse gas emissions from our system while maintaining a reliable and affordable supply of clean energy for our customers, now and in the future.
The plan includes measured steps we can take today to address climate change. It also provides maximum flexibility to make adjustments — with consultation from the OPUC and our stakeholders — as technology, policies and conditions related to the COVID-19 crisis continue to evolve.
Throughout the public 2019 IRP process, PGE worked to design a plan that reflects the values of our customers and community, responds to customer and stakeholder feedback, and embraces positive change taking place in the energy industry. We filed the plan with the OPUC on July 19, 2019. After extensive review and input from customer groups and other stakeholders, the commission acknowledged the plan on March 16, 2020. We invite you to read our 2019 IRP and let us know what you think about it.
