Green Source
Green Source allows you to purchase 100 percent of your electricity from renewable sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. With this plan, approximately 85 percent of the electricity you’re purchasing comes from new wind sources and 15 percent from new biomass (wood waste) power. For details, visit GreenPowerOregon.
Clean Wind
PGE’s Clean Wind program allows you to support development of new wind power generation in the Pacific Northwest. With this option, you purchase small units of wind power at a fixed price. Each unit represents about 12 percent of a typical company’s usage. The funds from your Clean Wind choice will support construction of new renewable resources in the Pacific Northwest, such as the solar panels on the Oregon State Capitol, the first capitol building in the nation to be illuminated by solar power.
Clean Wind is sold in units of 200 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity priced at $3.50 each, which is billed in addition to your normal monthly charges. You may purchase as many units as you like. For details, visit GreenPowerOregon.

Whether you choose Green Source or Clean Wind, you may also select to support stream habitat for salmon and other fish in our service territory by paying an additional $2.50 per month, which goes directly to The Nature Conservancy, and is dedicated to restoring local salmon habitat. For details, visit GreenPowerOregon.
