PUC Hosting In-Person Meeting for Public to Comment on PGE's Application Impacting Proposed Transmission Line
Application approval impacts securing of land along proposed line
SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) is hosting an in-person meeting on July 30, 2024, for the public to comment on Portland General Electric’s application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN). PGE’s request is part of its proposed construction of a transmission line that would connect the Rosemont and Wilsonville substations known as the Rosemont-Wilsonville Line.
PGE has asked the PUC to issue a CPCN for this project. If granted, PGE would use this certificate in court proceedings where it seeks to condemn an interest in land along the transmission line’s path. The certificate would demonstrate to the court that the transmission line is a public use and necessary for public convenience. View the proposed path for the transmission line below.
