PGE filed with the Oregon Public Utility Commission its final shortlist of recommended projects submitted in response to its 2023 All-Source Request for Proposal – an important step in helping us acquire new clean energy resources and decarbonize Oregon’s power supply. The right mix of energy resources in the right locations can lower energy costs for our communities and ensure reliable power for customers.
Projects on the final shortlist include renewable energy and capacity resources that offer the best value to customers, including solar, lithium-ion battery storage, and hybrid (solar + storage) projects, located within the state of Oregon. The selections demonstrate a commitment to serving customers reliable, clean power, while working to keep customer prices as low as possible.
To achieve our 2030 emissions reduction target while maintaining reliability, PGE plans to add a significant amount of clean energy resources to our portfolio.
