Leadership in Sustainability

Advancing toward a clean energy future

We seek solutions that reduce environmental impacts from our operations, protect the safety, health and well-being of our employees and partners; and build lasting value for all our customers and shareholders. Our customers, communities, employees and partners are firmly at the center of PGE’s sustainability efforts.

2025 resources and emissions at a glance

  1. Percentages above represent 2025 resource mix from PGE’s total system load, inclusive of wholesale and retail volumes. The percentage of 2025 retail loads as defined by Oregon Department of Environment Quality (ODEQ), which excludes wholesale sales, served by non-emitting resources is 40%. This resource mix does not include battery storage. Refer to the appendix for additional information.

  2. Rooftop solar and community solar are based on gross generation, which is total energy generated before any on-site customer usage.

  3. Hydro amounts include purchases from Bonneville Power Administration, which may have an immaterial amount of emissions associated with them, per ODEQ rules.

  4. Unspecified is purchased power for which a specific generating resource is not defined and could be any of the generation types (e.g., wind, hydro, gas).


Resilient energy ecosystem

As Oregon’s largest electricity supplier, PGE has responsibilities to lower carbon emissions, steward critical habitats, protect air and water quality and minimize environmental impacts in the places we serve and call home.

Carbon intensity is an indicator of how clean PGE’s electricity is. It is measured as carbon emissions per megawatt hour of energy produced for PGE’s total system. Monitoring and assessing the carbon intensity of our generation portfolio is important because it provides insights into how well PGE is doing to decarbonize, even when its total electricity load is increasing.

PGE leads its peer utilities, ranking #1 for lowest carbon intensity.*

* Based on the utility/proxy peers reported in the National Public Utilities Council Fall 2025 Annual Decarbonization Report.


Clean energy additions since 2021

Achieving emissions reduction requires steadily adding renewable energy, battery storage, energy efficiency and customer sited resources to our portfolio.

PGE and its customers have committed to adding 4,200+ MW of clean energy since 2021. Renewables in PGE's total system load have grown by 37% since 2021.

Next steps: PGE initiated the 2025 All-Source RFP and received bids for additional renewable energy and storage projects. PGE filed its final shortlist with the Commission in February 2026.

* Through ownership, power purchase agreements (PPA), contract or customer participation in programs.

** Procured by customers through Green Future Impact program.

*** Preliminary numbers as provided by Energy Trust of Oregon. Numbers are subject to change from this report to the final filed report, which will occur later in the year.

**** Cumulative capacity deployed in summer and winter seasons over time period. Total demand response capacity in summer 2025 is 116 MW.


2025 Safety Data

The introduction of the industrial injury prevention specialist and the injury management program has aided in significant continued improvement of PGE’s safety metrics:


Thriving communities and teams

We’re committed to the strength and resilience of the communities and workforce we support and to creating lasting value by closely aligning our business practices with community values.

Giving back to communities

Through the PGE Foundation, along with corporate contributions and the employee matching gift program, we directed more than $5 milion in 2025 to charitaible organizations supporting economic growth and community resilience across our service area.

$1.6M granted in 2025 through the PGE Foundation to organizations that empower Oregonians to achieve personal and community prosperity through investments in education, career developemnet and creative expression.

55 scholarships through the PGE Foundation and PGE Director Scholarship program focused on access to higher education and STEM fields and high-skilled trades, perticularly for students with demonstrated financial need and those first in the family to pursue higher education.

18,390 total volunteer hours completed by employees and retirees.

67% employee participation in charitable giving and/or volunteerism.


Governance

We seek solutions that manage costs for customers, foster a resilient and reliable grid, enhance financial health and performance, reduce environmental impacts, protect the health, safety and well-being of PGE employees and support the communities we serve.
