If you have utilities experience or are ready to make an industry change, we have opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute to Oregon’s clean energy future! 

Recently, PGE employees had the privilege of conducting informational interviews with 8th graders at Roseway Heights Middle School in Portland. As these bright young minds prepare for high school, we shared insights into various green energy careers, from cutting-edge innovation to essential trades. Our goal? To inspire and equip students with the knowledge they need to navigate their future careers successfully. At PGE, we're committed to fostering the next generation of talent in sustainable energy. #GreenEnergyCareers #STEM #YouthEmpowerment #PGE #SustainableFuture

🌱 Celebrating Growth and a New Chapter for Project Zero’s Green Jobs Internship Program 🌱 We recently marked an incredible milestone with the culmination of our 2024 Project Zero cohort—and shared a very exciting announcement. Over the past five years, Project Zero has empowered 64 young adults with hands-on green career experience, professional coaching, and support services addressing housing, food access, and transportation needs. Thanks to partnerships with 43 community organizations, nearly half of these interns are now thriving in full-time green jobs. 🌍 As we celebrate this success, we’re thrilled to announce the next chapter for Project Zero. To meet the growing demand from local youth, we’ve proudly partnered with the POIC, a leader in workforce development, to transfer ownership of this transformative program. Together, we’re ensuring a stronger future for Oregon’s youth and our clean energy workforce. Here’s to the incredible work ahead! 💚 https://lnkd.in/egX9ucP4 #GreenJobs #Sustainability #YouthEmpowerment #WorkforceDevelopment

“In its first ten months, Clearwater Wind Energy Center has already set new records for PGE! 🌬️💡 This groundbreaking project helped us reach a major milestone: producing one gigawatt of power from wind sources alone. That’s enough electricity to power 830,000 homes—nearly half of Oregon’s households. Located in Eastern Montana, Clearwater adds 311 megawatts of renewable energy to our portfolio, advancing our clean energy goals and strengthening our commitment to a carbon-free future.

Exciting progress in fish recovery! Together with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon, we celebrate a record return of over 250 adult steelhead at the Pelton Round Butte hydroelectric project – the largest since the dams were built in the 1960s. These early returns not only demonstrate the success of our collaborative efforts but also give us hope for a thriving steelhead population in the Deschutes River. Thanks to initiatives like selective water withdrawal, advanced fish tracking, and in-stream acclimation, we’re making strides toward reintroducing anadromous fish to the Deschutes Basin.
