Forest Grove Light & Power
The Light & Power Department is a full service electric utility providing reliable electric service to customers in Forest Grove and surrounding areas.
Today, about 75 percent of Forest Grove’s power is purchased from BPA. The remaining 25 percent comes from two Grant County, Washington, hydroelectric projects and other generation resources such as coal/gas fired plants and wind farms. Related Links: Banner Information

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).
