Green Power Calculator

How it Works...

Trying to decide which renewable option to choose? Use this calculator to find out the environmental impact of your renewable power choices.

Step 1: Select if you’re a residential or business customer. The business data is for small (Schedule 32 on your bill) businesses only.
Step 2: Enter your monthly energy use in kilowatt hours (kWh) from your bill. Or you can enter your approximate monthly bill.
Step 3: Select Green Source^SM or the number of units of Clean Wind^SM.
Step 4: Choose if you’d like to add Habitat Support.

The calculator will dynamically show you the estimated cost per month, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) you would offset and how that offset equates to trees planted or miles not driven.

Data for PGE System Mix may differ from WECC regional resource mix; check PortlandGeneral.com for details. All percentages are approximate and may not add up to 100% due to rounding. “New” refers to power generated from facilities that became operational after July 1999.
