Delivering quality power at low cost
PGE meets our area’s growing energy demands with a diverse mix of low-cost generation facilities that includes water power, coal and gas combustion. Our eight hydroelectric plants and four thermal plants have a total combined generating capacity of 1,974 megawatts.
We also own major transmission rights to the Pacific Intertie, the West Coast electrical superhighway. These power exchange lines give us the flexibility to buy and sell power to other utilities when it’s not needed by our customers.
We manage our own power plants in conjunction with available power supplies on the wholesale market to deliver power to our customers at the lowest price possible.
