As Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown to ten locations across Oregon, Washington and California, they’ve built sustainability, reliability and resiliency into their operations. Joining our Energy Partner On Demand program, they’ve incorporated Tesla solar roof tiles and battery backup, along with on-site generation, ensuring protection of their data systems and refrigeration during outages.
These upgrades allowed Willamette to generate 90% of the power they used at their Domaine Willamette Gift Shop in 2023, saving $2,663. That’s helped them become recognized as a good energy leader in the communities they serve.

Good energy businesses
Arcade 2084 • World HeARTs Fair Trade • Bennett Urban Farm Store • ECOVIBE • The Rosewood Initiative • Lovejoy Workshop
When owners Shana and Eric launched Arcade 2084 in February 2020, they weren’t ready for what happened next. COVID closures came just a few weeks later, and they were a new business needing to find ways to save. While reviewing their PGE bill, Shana read about perks for energy efficient businesses. By taking advantage of free lighting upgrade incentives and joining energy efficiency programs, they were able to become a Good Energy Business, saving money and helping them earn rewards.
With two locations in the Portland metro area, World HeARTs Fair Trade is giving folks the opportunity to shop with intention and give with purpose.

You don't have to do much digging to find that the folks at Bennett Urban Farm Store are big on community. At their shop in historic downtown Hillsboro, you’ll find a wide selection of carefully sourced goods from local makers, as well as some of the smoothest small batch coffee around — lovingly roasted in house!
