Clackamas River

Learn about how we’re protecting fish and generating energy on the Clackamas.

Our commitment to the Clackamas River – and our customers

Portland General Electric helps fish migrate safely along the Clackamas River every year while we power Oregon with clean, emissions-free hydropower. Our history here spans more than a century, defined by constant innovation and a strong commitment to preserve the fish, wildlife and natural beauty of the river for future generations. We’re in it for the long haul, and we take our role as environmental stewards seriously. We’ve recently made significant investments to ensure that we will be able to continue to protect the fish while providing our customers with safe, reliable, affordable power for another hundred years.
