Thank you to the PacifiCorp engineers and local high school students who volunteered with @solvepdx last week. Together, they collected 15 bags of trash, including 40 pounds of broken glass, from the bike lanes in Portland’s Lloyd District. ??

From all of us at Pacific Power, Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the dedicated workers who keep our communities running. Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend.

Last week, Pacific Power employees lent a hand at SnowCap Community Charities, getting ready for their Back-to-School event. The team organized and displayed donated school clothing, ensuring everything was prepared for more than 300 families to pick out free back-to-school outfits. Snow Cap Community Charities provides food, clothing advocacy and other services to low-income people in East Multnomah County. Learn more at www.snowcap.org

Today we honor Women's Equality Day, which celebrates the anniversary of the 19th Amendment's certification on August 26, 1920, granting women the right to vote and advancing the cause of gender equality.

On #NationalHydroDay, Pacific Power celebrates the vital role of hydropower in advancing cleaner communities, creating local jobs, and maintaining a reliable electricity grid. Our Lewis River, North Umpqua, and Rogue River projects, which together generate 824 MW, play a key role in powering homes and businesses while also enhancing recreational opportunities and supporting wildlife habitats. #HydroDay

Thanks, in part, to a grant made possible by Blue Sky Block participants, Fort George Brewery plans to install a solar array on their property along the riverfront in Astoria, Oregon. Once installed, the solar array is expected to save the brewery up to $60,000 a year by powering up to 80% of the facility’s energy usage, reducing the brewery’s carbon footprint while supporting renewable energy.

On August 1, 2024, the Benton County Historical Society celebrated the installation of solar panels on the Johnson Collections Center in Philomath, Oregon.
