PGE Shuts Down Oregon’s Only Coal-Fired Plant, Largest Single Source Of Greenhouse Gas Emissions In State
Portland General Electric Company this week announced it has permanently shuttered its coal-fired Boardman Generating Station in Eastern Oregon’s Morrow County. The closure fulfills an agreement PGE reached with stakeholders, customer groups and regulators in 2010 to significantly reduce air emissions from power production in Oregon by ending operations at Boardman 20 years ahead of schedule and transitioning to cleaner energy resources.
