Description

PGE's Shute Substation in North Hillsboro helps supply power to nearby data centers. Pending legislation seeks to ensure tech companies cover the cost of new generation and transmission to power their operations.

Power-hungry data centers are poised to send Oregon electricity consumption soaring by the end of the decade, an unprecedented surge in energy demand that could drive up residential power bills, too.
