Forward guidance

PGE is raising its full-year 2021 earnings guidance from $2.55 to $2.70 per diluted share to $2.70 to $2.85 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:

Tailwinds

  • An increase in annual energy deliveries from 1% and 1.5%, to 2.5% to 3.0%, weather-adjusted, which reflects year over year: Commercial segment growth, as economic recovery has taken hold earlier and more rapidly than anticipated
  • Strong growth in the industrial segment reflecting expansions in high tech manufacturing and digital services
  • Normal temperatures in its utility service territory for the remainder of the year
  • Hydro conditions for the remainder of year that reflect current estimates
  • Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available

Headwinds

  • These increases are partially offset by a decrease in residential demand as customers spend less time at home
  • Normal thermal plant operations for the remainder of the year
  • Capital expenditures of $700 million
  • Revised average construction work in progress balance from $340 million to $390 million
  • Revised operating and maintenance expense from between $595 million and $615 million, to between $605 million and $625 million in order to enhance and accelerate vegetation management and grid restoration and resiliency
