# *Submission*
|
|
For my selection of a metropolitan area, I chose the Portland Oregon MSA.
|
|
|
|
There are two major electric utilities in Portland: Portland General Electric
|
|
serves most of Portland west of the Wilamette River, while Pacific Power and
|
|
Portland General Electric share the eastern side of the metro area.
|
|
|
|
Portland General Electric (PGE) will be the focus of this assignment, as they are the main supplier in Portland.
|
|
|
|
PGE has the following facility breakdown:
