PGE is committed to minimizing impacts on homes, businesses and the environment. We intend to follow existing transmission or energy corridors wherever possible.

The map shows two possible corridors under study. Both begin at PGE’s Coyote Springs Plant in Boardman and end at our Bethel substation east of Salem, following existing transmission corridors most of the way.

The project would connect to the Boardman Plant, where a new substation would be built, and to a new substation near Maupin to connect with wind projects. Upgrades to existing substations at Coyote Springs and Bethel also are planned.

PGE may need to make additions to its transmission system in the Willamette Valley as part of this project. If that becomes necessary, we will reach out to get feedback from communities and residents that may be affected by those upgrades.
