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
