For the second straight year, Portland General Electric Co. led the nation in having more renewable power customers than any other utility.
The Portland-based electric utility (NYSE: POR) ended 2010 with 78,000 business and residential customers who buy renewable power, or 12.6 percent of all eligible customers, far surpassing the national average of 2 percent participation, according to rankings released Monday by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
PGE also holds the laboratory’s top ranking for selling more renewable power to residential customers than any other utility in the nation and was second for the total amount of renewable energy sales to residential and commercial customers combined.
