Your Dollars at Work
Powering our communities through innovation, transformation and collaboration to build a brighter future.
Committed to your energy
For more than 135 years, we've powered our communities with a commitment that hasn’t changed: deliver safe, reliable energy while keeping costs as low as possible. Today, we're building on that legacy by modernizing the grid and transforming how we work to meet the evolving needs of our customers and communities.
Supporting Oregon’s economic growth while protecting customer prices
On June 3, PGE filed a proposal with the OPUC to update customer pricing. This proposal introduces a new rate designed for data centers that require large amounts of electricity. If approved, data centers would see higher prices that better reflect their energy demands, while most other customers would benefit from lower rates.
Update: On June 9, the OPUC voted to delay approving new customer rates to allow the Commission additional time to review our proposal. A new vote on this will likely take place during the July 7 public meeting. While we are disappointed in the delay, we are confident that this new rate structure, once approved, will allow us to support economic growth for Oregon while keeping prices low for customers.

| Average price change | 29% increase |
| Customer type | Residential (schedule 7) |

System maintenance and improvements
Just like you maintain your car to ensure peak performance, we take the same care with our electrical equipment. We maintain and upgrade generation facilities, substations and transmission and distribution equipment so we can deliver reliable power with fewer outages.

Battery storage systems to provide backup power
Our large-scale battery projects in Constable, Seaside, Sundial and Coffee Creek store extra energy when demand is low. We use this stored energy during periods of high demand. They can provide clean, low-cost power for up to four hours to about 425,000 homes.

Putting power lines underground for safety and resilience Â
The Scoggins-Cherry Grove Underground Conversion project adds to the nearly 17,000 miles of power lines we have already buried—over 60% of our distribution lines. This project helps prevent wildfires and reduces the chance of outages.

✅ Safety ✅ Reliability Â
Upgrades to transmission towers maximize existing equipment
Crews working on the Westside Upgrade Project removed the top of several transmission towers and added extensions to raise their height. This supports grid-enhancing technology to ease a major grid bottleneck and nearly double the power these lines carry.
Commitments honored:
✅ Affordability ✅ Reliability
Powering progress and advancing safety
We're continuously developing smarter ways to deliver energy that's efficient and increasingly clean while keeping prices as low as possible for customers. We’re focused on real, scalable impact to support a grid that works for the decades to come.

Using smart technology to reduce outages and prevent equipment damage
We are using an Early Fault Detection network to find and fix equipment problems before they cause outages.  We have installed nearly 400 smart devices to prevent equipment damage and speed up restoration during outages.  Our rapid fault location and service restoration program reduces outage time from hours to minutes. 

Commitment honored:
✅ Reliability
High-tech weather stations provide real-time data predicting severe weather
Our network of over 80 weather stations provides weather data at a granular level to better predict dramatic weather year-round. This real-time data delivers deeper understanding and forecasting about how weather could impact our system as well as broader weather awareness across our area and fire weather forecasts.

Wind farms make energy more dependable and affordable
The Clearwater Wind Energy Center is contributing to record-high wind generation for customers. In its first ten months serving PGE customers, Clearwater produced enough electricity to power half the number of homes in Oregon. This giant wind farm turns steady winds on the plains of Montana into reliable power here at home.

Understanding PGE’s rate review process
You may have heard that PGE plans to file a general rate case later this year. We want to help explain what that means.
PGE regularly reviews what it costs to deliver safe and reliable electricity to our customers. When investments are needed, PGE may ask the Oregon Public Utility Commission to review those costs and approve changes to customer prices.
After PGE files the rate case a nearly year-long public process begins. During that time, regulators hear from PGE, customer advocates, community groups and customers. Customer prices will not change until approved by the OPUC.
Before asking for any price change, we work to make the most of the energy resources and grid infrastructure we already have. We do this by using new technology, finding ways to work more efficiently and offering programs that help customers shift energy use to lower-cost times. These efforts help us manage energy needs and keep prices as low as possible for customers.
