We’ve invested in Pano AI’s advanced wildfire detection system to enhance our preparedness and safety measures, helping us protect our communities during #wildfireseason. These 360-degree AI-enabled cameras are strategically installed in high fire risk areas across our service area. The state-of-the-art cameras detect smoke early and provide real-time location information to local fire agencies, enabling rapid response and fire containment. This investment underscores PGE’s ongoing commitment to #wildfirepreparation, because preparing today means a safer tomorrow.

Historic milestone! 🌟 During this week's heat wave, PGE customers cut peak electricity demand by 109 MW on Monday and 100 MW on Tuesday by participating in PGE's energy shifting programs. These collective actions supported reliable power delivery and grid stability during a time of extremely high power demand. Huge thanks to everyone involved. Together, we're driving a more resilient, sustainable energy future.

Since 1999, PGE's Green Future℠ renewable power programs have funded 92 clean energy projects through our Renewable Development Fund, supporting Oregon's clean energy and carbon reduction goals.  Once again, we're including funding for energy storage in this cycle, enhancing the resilience of solar projects. Applications for the 2024 PGE Renewable Development Fund open from July 1 to August 31.

We've formally committed to a regional day-ahead energy market by signing an implementation agreement with the California ISO for its Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM). Joining the EDAM allows us share our energy needs and resources with other participating utilities a day ahead of expected usage, helping to serve customers with the least costly and cleanest energy available.

This wildfire season, PGE is committed to keeping Oregon’s communities safe by investing in advanced technologies and proactive measures. We’re implementing high-def, panoramic cameras for early fire detection, enhancing our vegetation management practices to remove potential fire hazards, and training our crews to ensure a fast response. However, preparedness is a collective effort. We’re encouraging Oregonians to be prepared by staying informed and having emergency plans in place.

Each year, we partner with organizations that make a difference in the communities we serve. This year, PGE volunteers supported 130 organizations, including Meals on Wheels People, Schoolhouse Supplies, Legal Aid Services Of Oregon, and many more. We also joined SOLVE's Oregon Spring Clean-up, where over 4,000 volunteers collectively picked up an impressive 21,981 pounds of litter and debris. A special thank you to our dedicated PGE team members who hosted events in Gresham, Oregon City, Estacada, and Portland. We also supported Friends of Trees – a partner since its first planting in 1989 – by volunteering at events in Beaverton, Portland, and Tualatin, planting over 600 trees.  THANK YOU to everyone who invested time and effort during National Volunteer Month! #PGEvolunteers #SpringIntoAction #CommunitySupport #NationalVolunteerMonth #SOLVEOregon #FriendsOfTrees #GivingBack #CommunityService 

PGE plans to join forces with Grid United and ALLETE in the development of the North Plains Connector – a groundbreaking 3,000 megawatt high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission line.   This 415-mile transmission line will more than double the transfer capacity between the eastern and western U.S. electric grids, providing PGE with access to new, diverse energy resources and bolstering reliability for our customers.   Key Highlights: - Increased transfer capacity of 600 megawatts for PGE - Access to renewable energy over a wider geographic area - Significant economic and environmental benefits - $3.2 billion investment in Montana and North Dakota   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/guPhPmry   #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #EnergyInnovation #PGE
