Oregon Renewable Energy Options

Choose from three renewable power options
Pacific Power offers three renewable power options to its Oregon customers. Each option supplies safe, clean energy for future generations, while promoting resource diversity and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

By paying a little more on your electricity bill each month, you can be a part of a cleaner, more sustainable future.  

More than 20,000 Oregonians are purchasing electricity generated from cleaner, renewable sources — wind, biomass and solar.

More information on each of the options is below.

  • Blue Sky Block lets you purchase new wind energy in fixed 100 kilowatt-hour (kwh) increments called blocks for an additional $1.95 per block per month. Buy as many blocks as you'd like. With this option, your purchase does not fluctuate with your electricity usage. By purchasing just one block of pollution-free wind energy for a year, you’ll prevent almost 2,700 pounds of CO 2 emissions — as much as your car makes when driven over 2,500 miles*.  
  • Blue Sky Usage equals your total monthly usage and features energy from 100 percent new renewable sources - wind, biomass and solar. The additional cost is $0.0078 per kwh - less than a penny. For the average home using 1,000 kwh monthly, Blue Sky usage would cost about $8.00 more per month. You would prevent almost 24,000 pounds of CO 2 emissions annually — as much as your car makes when driven about 25,000 miles.* 
  • Blue Sky Habitat works like the Usage option (above), but also includes a $2.50 monthly tax-deductible donation to  The Nature Conservancy , a nonprofit organization dedicated to the restoration of native salmon habitat. The average additional monthly cost for this option is $10.30. Go to Blue Sky Habitat  for more information about the program and the restoration projects.
