Boardman Coal Plant

The facility had a nameplate capacity of 550 megawatts (MWs) and is owned by Portland General Electric.

[1] In 2010, the plant was the only remaining coal powered plant in Oregon and received much attention from regional media due to its being the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in the state with environmental groups such as the Sierra Club calling for its closing.

[4][5][6] In October 2020, Portland General Electric announced that the coal plant has been permanently closed and was demolished in 2022, ending Oregon's legacy of coal-fired power generation.

[10][11] The Boardman plant was one of PGE's largest power stations, producing 15% of the utility's electricity in 2009.

[12] Portland General Electric's original plan involved operating the plant until 2040; this would require installing over $500 million of pollution control equipment on the plant by 2017 in order to comply with federal and state clean air standards.
