The Light & Power Department is a full service electric utility providing reliable electric service to customers in Forest Grove and surrounding areas.
Forest Grove Light & Power was founded in 1895 and is the third oldest municipal electric utility in the State of Oregon. Power was first generated locally by means of a small hydroelectric plant and later by steam and diesel generators. Since 1939, Forest Grove has purchased the majority of its power from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA).
Today, about 90 percent of Forest Grove’s power is purchased from BPA. The remaining 10 percent comes from two Grant County, Washington, hydroelectric projects.
