Case Study: Portland General Electric advances community outreach and stakeholder engagement with Hubbell

Portland General Electric modernizes Willamette Falls over a decade with Hubbell

Portland General Electric (PGE) faced the challenge of modernizing the historic Willamette Falls hydroelectric facility while navigating its significant cultural importance and the need for collaboration with tribal communities, environmental advocates, and local residents. Hubbell was engaged to provide community outreach services to ensure transparency and gather feedback to address stakeholder concerns.

Hubbell implemented a comprehensive outreach plan focused on inclusive engagement, prioritizing transparency and feedback throughout the project's development. Their solution involved early and ongoing collaboration with Indigenous Tribes, conducting community meetings and public forums, and consulting with environmental organizations. Hubbell helped PGE incorporate public feedback into the project development, successfully balancing the needs of local communities with the goals of sustainable energy infrastructure modernization.
