And this month, the time will come for the j i Boardman Coal Plant . . .
dedicating a strong, new energy source for the cfi people of the Northwest.
In 1 973, PGE foresaw the need for additional generating plants to keep up with the
people's need for electricity in the 1980s and beyond. It was then that the idea was
developed. And, this month, the once futuristic idea of the Boardman Power Project will
officially become a reality . . .an idea whose time has come.
The dedication of the Boardman Coal Plant marks more than the generation of a
much needed 530,000 kilowatts of electricity. It stands as a constant reminder of PGE
and our partners' commitment to provide the power the people in the Northwest need to
run our homes and perform ourjobs.
We, along with our partners, Idaho Power Company and Pacific Northwest Generat
ing Company, cordially invite you to attend our Open House to view the plant The Open
House will be Saturday, September 20th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Septem
ber 21st, from noon to 4 p.m.
The plant is located 1 1 miles south of the interchange of Tower Road and 1-84. If
you are unable to attend the Open House, our Plant Site Visitor's Center is open Mondays
through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
