City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget The Hydroelectric Power Program provides for administrative, operational, and regulatory oversight for the Portland Hydroelectric Project (PHP). The hydroelectric energy generated from the Bull Run powerhouses contributes to the region's mix of clean energy as the electric utilities move to a goal of 100%. Hydropower is often available when solar and wind power are not available. Services Hydroelectric Power Generation and Maintenance Equity Impacts The Hydroelectric Power Program does not have any clear equity implications but does support generation of clean energy that could be available when other energy supplies are not. Staff in this program do not interact directly with the public and do not receive requests for accommodations. Changes to Program There are no significant changes to this program in FY 2026-27. 977
