Portland General Electric Co (NYSE: POR) is a vertically-integrated electric utility company that generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity at retail to customers in Oregon. Revenue comes from retail electricity sales at regulated rates set by the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC), with prices based on forecasted cost-to-serve and an approved rate of return. PGE also participates in wholesale electricity markets, buying and selling electricity, natural gas, and environmental credits to manage costs and fulfill retail load obligations. Incorporated in 1930 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, the company operates as a single business segment on a total electric operations basis. It meets retail demand through a combination of company-owned generation assets, including wind, natural gas, and battery energy storage, and wholesale market power purchases. Rate regulation by the OPUC means returns are cost-based, a structure that caps upside but provides revenue predictability. PGE lists its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.
