The Gresham City Council has proclaimed the launch of the Gresham Green Power Challenge. The challenge, the first of its kind in Gresham, runs April 1 through the end of June, and is designed to promote environmental sustainability and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The City of Gresham has also signed up to purchase green power from PGE for all of its buildings.

The Challenge
Through the community-wide challenge, the city’s goal is to generate 300 new renewable sign ups by June 30, 2008. Residential and small business customers are encouraged to purchase renewable energy from PGE.

PGE applauds Mayor Shane T. Bemis and the City of Gresham for their leadership in making this green power challenge happen as a way to increase Gresham’s renewable power participation rate. We look forward to a community-wide celebration in July.

How to sign up for the Challenge
When you sign up for renewable energy, you help create cleaner air, more salmon and steelhead in our streams and the growth of new wind farms.
