Portland General Electric Company has submitted plans to the Oregon regulator to up to 400MW of new renewables capacity by 2023.
The integrated resource plan sent to the Oregon Public Utility Commission will now undergo a public review process before commissioners decide whether the utility has identified an appropriate least-cost, least-risk plan to reliably serve customers.
The plan also includes more energy efficiency measures and a strengthening of partnerships with customers to help balance energy supply and demand during periods of peak use.
Portland General Electric Company president and chief executive Maria Pope said: “This is the first resource plan developed since we expanded our commitment to cut PGE greenhouse gas emissions.
“It proposes measured steps we can take today to address climate change, while allowing flexibility for adjustments as technology and policies continue to evolve.”
A decision on the plan is expected by the first quarter of 2020.
