On Oct. 15, 2020, Boardman Coal Plant ceased operations. The closure fulfilled a groundbreaking agreement PGE reached with stakeholders, customer groups and regulators in 2010 to significantly reduce air emissions from power production in Oregon by ending operations at Boardman 20 years ahead of schedule and transitioning to cleaner energy resources. During the transition period, PGE worked closely with employees, and the local community, to support them through the process, providing benefits that included a comprehensive retention and severance packages, education, and job training, and help with placement at other PGE facilities or in new careers.
On Sept. 15, 2022, the stack and boiler were demolished.
