Today’s all-electric home: efficient, connected and rewarding

Built to showcase the latest in energy efficiency, comfort and sustainability, PGE’s all-electric demonstration home proves that big ideas can come in small packages.

Designed with smart technology, modern appliances and sustainable building practices, the home offers visitors a real-life look at how electric energy efficiency can fit beautifully into everyday life. It’s a small but mighty example of how we can make any home more comfortable, efficient and ready for the future.

A hands-on way to explore energy efficiency

Step inside PGE’s all-electric home and you’ll find a modern, cozy space that runs entirely on electricity — no gas needed. From the energy-efficient appliances to the smart thermostat to the induction cooktop, every feature is designed to show how today’s all-electric homes combine innovation and comfort.

Throughout the summer, the tiny home travels to events in different cities across Oregon, giving visitors a chance to explore all-electric living firsthand. It’s a fun, interactive way to experience how small changes at home can make a big difference for reliability and lower energy costs.

The home is also a great place to learn about energy shifting — simple actions that can support a more reliable grid and help reduce energy costs across our communities.

By shifting your use away from peak times, you can help ease demand on the grid, reduce reliance on more expensive energy resources and support a stronger, more resilient energy system.

Energy shifting can be as simple as:

• Running your dishwasher after peak hours

• Charging your electric vehicle overnight

• Pre-cooling or pre-heating your home before peak hours

And it’s easy to get started. PGE offers a variety of energy shifting programs designed to fit different lifestyles and homes. Whether you’re a renter, homeowner or EV driver, there are options that can help you save energy and support reliability at the same time.
