Energy Trust 2011 strategies lead to remarkable results


Throughout 2011, Energy Trust worked closely with our affiliated utilities—Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural and Cascade Natural Gas—to serve customers. We developed a range of strategies to meet customer needs—from no- and low-cost behavior change and energy management programs for all types of customers, to support for equipment upgrades and deep retrofits for homes and commercial buildings, to process efficiency and equipment solutions for industry and agriculture.

This combination of diverse opportunities and responsive strategies resulted in savings that surpassed expectations and exceeded our energy-efficiency goals, saving 46.9 average megawatts of electricity and 5.4 million annual therms of natural gas. In addition, we achieved 1.48 average megawatts of new renewable energy generation, and installed a record-breaking number of solar electric systems.
