Portland General Electric (PGE) will triple the amount of clean energy it delivers to customers by 2030, en route to managing a zero emissions grid by 2040 as required by a new state law. The utility on Friday made three filings with the Oregon Public Utility Commission, sketching out a plan to achieve the new targets. PGE said it will need to acquire 1,500-2,000 MW of clean and renewable resources, along with 800 MW of "non-emitting dispatchable capacity resources" to meet 2030 interim decarbonization targets, and is seeking in a solicitation up to 1,000 MW to come online by the end of 2024. Within the next decade, PGE told regulators it estimates up to a quarter of the power needed on the hottest and coldest of days could come from distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar, batteries, and electric vehicles.
