Ceremony on Portland s Electric Island recognizes package of bills that also aid low-income households.
Gov. Kate Brown says Oregon is the first state in the nation to require its largest utilities to generate all their power carbon-free by 2040, while it helps low-income customers share in benefits and cushions them from negative economic effects. It is the most aggressive clean-energy bill in the country, the Democratic chief executive said Tuesday, July 27, at a ceremony on Electric Island, a joint project that Portland General Electric and Daimler Trucks North America that opened three months ago on Portland s Swan Island.
The project has eight charging stations, most open to the public, and can charge up heavy-duty commercial vehicles at much faster rates. It is across from Daimler Trucks headquarters and about one mile from Interstate 5.
