Reliability that matches your needs
How sensitive are your manufacturing processes to voltage sags and other electrical fluctuations? PGE provides many customized solutions to address your needs. See our chart showing the range of power reliability solution options (PDF*) available for different lengths of service interruptions, from less than 30 cycles to an hour or more.

Dispatchable Standby Generation
PGE’s Dispatchable Standby Generation captures enhanced reliability and operational savings from your standby generators. It puts your generators to work for up to 400 hours annually to meet peak power demands — and PGE picks up all your maintenance and fuel expenses. Your generator is always available to back up your facility and will operate synchronized and in parallel with PGE power so there is no service interruption.

Lightning unlikely to strike twice here
Nothing can knock out electric service faster than lightning. Fortunately, Western Oregon has among the lowest incidence of lightning in the nation. In PGE’s service area, annual recorded lightning strikes average between 0 and 0.25 per square kilometer. See a nationwide lightning incidence map (PDF*) for regional comparisons.
