PGE Upgrades & Service Disruptions

Over the next few months PGE plans to perform upgrades to some poles and fuse hardware in Molalla. This work is part of an important effort to harden the power grid, to avoid outages like those experienced in recent years. A map of the whole work area, which includes Molalla, can be found in the Documents and Reports section of the Did You Know project page.

Some of the work may require a brief, planned, power shutdown in certain areas, but PGE will be providing plenty of notice, a week in advance, to customers affected. PGE will also be working directly with commercial customers as the need arises, to schedule those shutdowns.

If you have any questions, click on the questions tool on the "Did You Know" page and ask them, City Staff will respond as soon as practicable.
