For customers, PGE expects to bring on approximately 375 - 500 MW of renewable resources, the equivalent of powering an average of 135,000 homes. Starting today, together with its customers, PGE is seeking approximately 1,000 MW² of resources by initiating its RFP public process. PGE is working to accelerate its exit from the coal-fired Colstrip plant by the end of 2025. To achieve the 2030 goal, PGE, in addition to removing coal from its portfolio, will need approximately 1,500 – 2,000 MW of clean and renewable resources and approximately 800 MW of non-emitting dispatchable capacity resources. To create the clean energy future Oregonians want, PGE estimates by 2030 it will nearly triple the amount of clean and renewable energy serving customers. “Working collaboratively with our stakeholders, we are advancing plans to add more renewables and non-emitting resources and partnering with our customers on building an equitable, two-way electric grid.” “We are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining an affordable, reliable energy future for everyone,” said Brett Sims, PGE Vice President of Strategy, Regulation and Energy Supply. Tying together the need for more clean and renewable resources and plans for an upgraded grid to support those resources, PGE today initiated its request for proposals (RFP) public process and filed its inaugural Distribution System Plan (DSP) at the Oregon Public Utility Commission. – Portland General Electric today shared plans to increase the amount of clean energy it serves to customers and meet its target of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from power served to customers by at least 80%¹ by 2030, 90% by 2035 and zero emissions by 2040.
