Want to Go Green?
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
PGE is offering free EV charging stations to businesses as part of the federal EV Project. Until the end of this year, grand funding is available toward installation of free EV charging stations for businesses that are destinations, such as retail or urban centers with publicly available parking spaces.
PE is working with ECOtality, which is the government contractor selected for the EV Project, to install the charging stations at local homes and businesses. ECOtality provides the charging stations and will provide a credit toward the installation.
If you are interested in installing an EV charging station, you can email PGE at PlugIn@pgn.com. They’ll provide you with details about the program and figure out if your location is a good fit. They’ll also get you connected with the pros at ECOtality.
Want to learn more about the EV charging stations? Read more about EV charging stations at PGE.

Have You Been Hit By The Recession?
Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Facing the recession that we are in, many people have fallen behind on their mortgage payments. The State of Oregon wants to help. They are making house payments for up to a year or up to $20,000 for 5,000 Oregon homeowners.
The program is funded by the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative as part of the stimulus-funded Mortgage Payment Assistance Program. The federal funds were given to states like Oregon, with the highest rates of home foreclosures.
So far, not many people have applied. All eligible applicants will be put into a lottery and selected after the January 14th deadline.
For more information, check out the article from KATU.
To apply online, go to the OHSI site.
