Content: Are there other transmission expansion options PGE should consider?
Role of the VPP in the IRP

Energy Efficiency (EE) Integration into IRP
Process: Are there areas where you’d like ETO to expand or provide more analysis?
Content: Do you have recommendations for improving PGE’s NCE EE binning approach for portfolio availability?
01/14/2026
Local Transmission Planning
Process: Has PGE clarified how local transmission planning differs from IRP/CEP transmission expansion analysis?
Content: Are there additional Grid Enhancing Technologies that you would like to see discussed in PGE’s GETs IRP strategy section?
Resource Contract Extension Update
Process: Do you have any comments or questions regarding contract commitment assumptions for needs assessment and portfolio analysis in the IRP?
Flexibility Study Overview
Process: Do you have any comments or questions regarding the purpose and approach of the flexibility study?
Clean Energy Plan – Overview
Process: Do you have any comments or questions regarding PGE’s process for developing the Clean Energy Plan (CEP) and how it connects to the IRP process?
Content: Is it clear how demonstrating compliance with HB 2021 targets will work in relation to clean energy and emissions reductions?
Community Benefit Indicators (CBIs)
Note: Process: Feedback from CBIs will come from engagement.
Portfolio/Scenario Designs
Process: Do you have any comments or questions regarding PGE’s process for designing portfolios and how it informs the selection of a preferred portfolio?
Content: Are PGE’s portfolio design assumptions clear?
Are there any other assumptions that should be included?
IRP Emissions Forecasting
Process: Do you have any comments or questions regarding how GHG emissions assumptions will be incorporated in a different model in this IRP cycle?
Content: Do you have any comments or questions for emissions and/or market related assumptions within the new PZM, that ultimately inform parts of scenarios within IRP portfolio analysis?
Flexibility Study Draft Results
Content: Do you have any comments or questions regarding the purpose and approach of the flexibility study, or the draft results?
CBRE Update
Process: Do you have any questions on how the CBRE RFO results informs proxy CBRE representation in this IRP?
Content: Is there interest in proxy CBRE categories for the IRP other than that informed by the RFO (i.e. only microgrids = solar+storage); such as standalone solar?
Clean Energy Plan & Integrated Resource Plan Community Engagement Updates
Content: Any feedback for presenters?
Diverse Market Transmission Framework
Content: Any feedback for presenters?
Portfolio Scoring
Content: Is it clear how the traditional scoring, non-traditional metrics, and new risk metrics may each provide different insight regarding portfolio performance across the range of futures and scenarios analyzed?
ELCCs
Content: Any feedback for presenters?
RFP Update and Proxy
Content: Any feedback for presenters?
Community Engagement
Process: What other IRP focused or PGE resource planning community engagements would you like PGE to do moving forward?
Content: How do you think the results of the East County Resiliency fair survey should influence PGE’s 2026 IRP conclusions?
Transmission Constraints: Methodology & Approach
Process: What remaining questions do you have regarding PGE’s transmission methodology? What additional information would support your understanding of PGE’s transmission constraints and GridView capabilities?
Content: Between PGE’s proposed used of existing long-term transmission rights, transmission expansion options and use of short-term non-firm transmission, do you think PGE’s proposed methodology well captures system transmission constraints?
Price Futures Update
Process: New for the 2026 IRP, PGE is attempting to forecast the wholesale price risk associated with changes in WECC wide large load growth and generation technology build out. Do you understand and agree with the proposed methodology change?
Content: PGE’s draft wholesale price forecasts have directionally increased. Is that trend consistent with your expectations and how does it compare to other reports you have reviewed recently?
Energy Values for Resources
Process: There was no change in the process for creating levelized energy values for the 2026 CEP/IRP. Do you understand how energy values are created and if not, what additional content can PGE provide to help clarify any remaining questions?
Content: Energy Values increased substantially from the 2023 CEP/IRP Update primarily due to higher market price forecasts. Are the resulting 2026 IRP energy values in line with your expectations?
Generic Resource Cost Update
Process: In the absence of NREL data, PGE is utilizing publicly available data from a third-party source, Wood-Mackenzie, to inform resource cost estimates. Is this approach reasonable? Are there other sources that PGE should consider?
Content: The majority of costs have increased since the 2023 IRP Update. Is this consistent with what you’d expect? Are there additional current resource costs estimates that PGE should consider moving forward?
Market Emission Factor Scenarios
Content: The market emission factor forecast is informed by the CAISO method that is currently being explored, and assumes that States across the region are making progress towards and meeting current clean energy and decarbonization targets. Do you have any questions regarding this approach? Are there other methods PGE should consider?
Process: In the 2026 IRP, PGE is attempting to forecast an emission factor that more closely represents the emissions profile of a forecasted market as the region decarbonizes. Do you agree with this approach? Do you have any questions about how this rate is intended to be used in the 2026 IRP analysis?
Community Benefit Indicators (CBIs):
Content: Do you understand how PGE has applied CBIs to Portfolios in the 2026 IRP/CEP?
Purpose: Does PGE’s development and continued use of CBIs in the IRP/CEP process make sense? Do you have suggestions for improving the CBI framework, including priorities for how CBIs should be treated, measured, tracked, or applied in future portfolio assessments?
Portfolio Analysis Scenarios
Content: Are there any additional portfolios/scenarios you would want to see analyzed in the IRP?
Cost Cap Scenario Update
Content: Do you have any questions or concerns with PGE’s approach to modeling a cost cap scenario? Are there any assumptions you would change or add to this proxy policy analysis?
Purpose: Do you agree that it is important for PGE to perform this proxy cost cap scenario analysis in the 2026 IRP/CEP?
Transmission Constraints: Results & Analysis
Content: Do you understand how the results of this analysis impact the 2026 IRP/CEP? Do you agree with PGE’s approach to limit the availability of non-firm transmission to reflect the constraints identified in this study?
Purpose: Do you agree that this analysis plays a critical role in informing PGE’s IRP/CEP assumptions around non-firm transmission? Do you have any suggestions for how PGE should refine this analysis?
Content: We are seeking feedback on which percentage threshold best reflects the risk to non-firm transmission. Which threshold do you believe is most appropriate for PGE's 2026 IRP/CEP planning assumptions?
VPP Integration & ELCC Review
Content: Does the proposed VPP binning and application provide a credible and appropriate representation of these resources within IRP modeling?
Content: What additional assumptions, or clarifications are needed to ensure confidence in the implementation and evaluation of VPP resources in the IRP?
