 a growing suite of grid and system services over time. When coordinated through the Company’s Distributed Energy Resources Management Systems, Distributed Energy Resource and flexible loads support cost-effective decarbonization, advance customer and community energy resiliency, promote customer engagement with the energy system, and unlock additional grid services that enhance PGE’s operation of a dynamic two-way system. As customer participation in PGE’s VPP grows, their actions provide increasing benefit and help avoid customer service interruptions and reduce exposure to scarcity pricing in energy markets.

•Distribution System Plan (DSP)—In 2021 and 2022, PGE filed its inaugural DSP in two parts, which were accepted by the OPUC in March 2022 and February 2023, respectively. The OPUC Staff finalized their review of modifications to the current DSP guidelines in the fourth quarter of 2024 and PGE filed its next DSP in December 2024, fully compliant with the updated requirements. The DSP outlines distribution system assets, describes how the Company plans for new load, including distributed resources such as EVs and rooftop solar installations, and presents the vision for modernizing the grid to enable accelerated decarbonization and customer participation in demonstrating continual progress towards PGE’s clean energy goals. For further information on recovery of costs related to the DSP, see “Distribution System Plan recovery mechanism” in the Regulatory Matters section of this Overview.

Electrify the economy—To help Oregon reach its decarbonization goals, PGE is committed to increasing electrification of buildings and supporting vehicle electrification for customers.

Transportation electrification (TE) is one of the most significant ways to reduce GHG emissions in Oregon. PGE is engaged with customers and communities to manage EV charging load, develop infrastructure projects aimed at improving accessibility to EV charging stations, build electric fleet partnerships, and offer programs to support customers’ transitions to TE.

In October 2023, the OPUC accepted PGE’s second TE plan, which covers the 2023 to 2025 time period and considers current and planned activities, along with forecasted EV loads. To date, PGE has incurred $14 million in capital expenditures under the current TE plan. 

On July 25, 2025, PGE filed with the OPUC its draft 2026-2028 TE plan, which represents a continuation of the approach and strategy found within PGE’s 2023-2025 TE plan. In the 2026-2028 period covered by the 2026-2028 TE Plan,
