PacifiCorp to sell distribution assets to Oregon electric cooperatives

 

PORTLAND, Ore. (March 19, 2026) — PacifiCorp announced today that it has executed nonbinding term sheets outlining transactions with three separate Oregon electric cooperatives to sell its distribution assets in Wallowa County, Monroe and Lakeview, Oregon.

 

Under the agreements, PacifiCorp plans to transfer its distribution assets serving 5,514 residential, commercial and irrigation customers in Wallowa County to Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative; assets serving 1,162 residential, commercial and irrigation customers in the Monroe area to Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative; and assets serving 2,228 customers in the Lakeview area to Surprise Valley Electrification Corporation.

 

“These agreements represent the company’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and simplify operations to ensure the continued delivery of safe, reliable electricity to our customers,” said Ryan Flynn, president, Pacific Power. “Each of the utilities involved in these transactions are experienced operators committed to the communities they serve, and we are confident this transition will be seamless for our customers in these areas.”

 

Once definitive agreements are negotiated and executed, these transactions are subject to regulatory approval and could take up to 12 months to complete. During this period, PacifiCorp will continue to provide quality service and customer care to these communities.

Link River Trail To Temporarily Close During Construction Project - 03/16/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
Media hotline: 503-813-6018

 

Link River trail to temporarily close during construction project
Expected to reopen after two to three weeks


KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (March 16, 2026) — Pacific Power will begin work on the West Side canal just downstream of Link River Dam in Klamath Falls beginning Tuesday, March 17, resulting in the temporary closure of a portion of the Link River Trail.

 

This project will stop water flow in the canal from near the dam downstream to the powerhouse, and requires the use of heavy equipment in the area. Project construction has been coordinated with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the City of Klamath Falls. 

 

To accommodate this work, the north access and a portion of the Link River Trail will be temporarily closed beginning March 17 and will remain closed for approximately two to three weeks until construction is complete. Closed areas will be clearly marked, and the public is asked to respect this closure and remain a safe distance from the construction area.

 

The south access off West Main St. and approximately one mile of trail will remain open. However, the trail will be closed in the vicinity of Link River Dam.
