Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Limited | Portland General Electric provides only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It names one clear legislative focus, stating, “We were excited to be part of a broad coalition supporting the passage of a new Oregon state law (HB 2021) establishing an electric sector decarbonization framework in line with our goals,” but offers no comparable detail for other measures it references such as SB 1547 or the Inflation Reduction Act. The company briefly describes working “as part of a broad coalition” and refers to stakeholder roundtables and filings with the Oregon Public Utility Commission, yet it does not explain whether it sends letters, holds meetings, or otherwise engages directly with identified policymakers. Likewise, while it reiterates ambitions for “zero greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity we serve customers by 2040” and interim cuts of “at least 80% by 2030,” it does not tie these aspirations to specific legislative amendments or regulatory decisions it seeks. Overall, PGE acknowledges some lobbying activity but discloses scant detail on the policies targeted, the mechanisms used, or the concrete outcomes pursued. | 1 |
