PGE outlines plan to cut emissions 60%-80% by 2030
POR•Portland General Electric filed its 2026 Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan with Oregon regulators, proposing 3,400–6,700 MW of clean energy additions by 2030. Procurement scenarios could cut greenhouse gas emissions 60%–80% relative to the HB 2021 baseline, subject to regulatory approval and other constraints.
1. Plan filed with regulators
Portland General Electric filed its 2026 Clean Energy Plan and Integrated Resource Plan with the Oregon Public Utility Commission. The proposed additions total 3,400–6,700 MW by 2030 and are subject to regulatory approval, affordability and operational feasibility.
2. Emissions and project constraints
Procurement scenarios could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60%–80% relative to the HB 2021 baseline. Transmission constraints, permitting delays and rising costs could limit development; the brief says lost federal tax credits had previously lowered clean energy project costs by 20%–40%. Regulatory review is expected to extend into the second quarter of next year.
