Washington County strives to be energy efficient and responsibly use our energy resources. We are committed to operating, maintaining, and building energy efficient facilities and supporting the expansion of renewable energy. Here are some of the initiatives already in place.
Green Future Impact - We are part of PGE's Green Future Impact program to support new solar energy generation in Oregon. The new PGE solar facility named Pachwáywit Fields was built with the support from the county and other 16 partners. By choosing Green Future SM Impact from PGE, we’re matching our electricity use with 100% solar generated power.
Strategic Energy Management - We partner with the Energy Trust of Oregon to make sure we are using our heating, cooling, and lighting as efficiently as possible. For each milestone we reach, we get a $1000 check to put towards more energy efficiency projects.
Solar Energy - Washington County has several solar arrays to help power facilities and reduce the amount electricity we purchase.
