Construction At Speelyai Bay Park Leads To Some Partial Closures - 09/30/26

Media hotline: 503-813-6018

Construction at Speelyai Bay Park leads to some partial closures


ARIEL, Wash. (September 30, 2026) — PacifiCorp is rebuilding the seawall at its Speelyai Bay Park on the Lewis River because of long-term wear from waves and wind. This work is expected to begin October 5, resulting in a partial closure of the main parking area and complete closure of the park’s picnic area for the duration of the project. The boat ramp will remain open during construction.

 

This construction will continue through April 2027, so visitors should plan their trips accordingly. The public will need to use the upper parking areas once the main asphalt parking area is full and then walk on the marked pedestrian path along the road, as the trail from the upper parking areas into the picnic area will be closed. PacifiCorp requests visitors to exercise caution when driving between the parking areas, especially when pedestrians are on the temporary roadway path. We appreciate the public’s patience as we make important park improvements.

 

For other recreational updates and a map of the closure, please visit our website.

Pacific Power Offers Oregon Customers Rebates For Backup Power - 09/18/26

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

Media hotline: 503-813-6018

 

 

Pacific Power offers Oregon customers rebates for backup power 

Program helps eligible customers prepare for wildfire-related outages and winter storms 

 

PORTLAND, Ore.  (Sept. 18, 2026) — With a record-setting wildfire season that brought power disruptions to communities across Oregon winding down, Pacific Power is reminding eligible customers about rebates that can help them prepare for future outage events. As our focus transitions to winter storm season, qualified customers and licensed care facilities can still get help purchasing backup power equipment.

 

Income-qualified residential customers who rely on electricity for medical equipment can receive a rebate of up to $1,000, and eligible licensed residential care homes, care facilities, adult foster homes and hospices can qualify for up to $4,000 in rebates. These rebates can be used toward a qualified portable power station, battery or permanent backup generator.

 

“We prioritize emergency preparedness education and communication in our communities so our customers are prepared in the event an outage whether related to wildfire safety or seasonal storms,” said Carrie Laird, vice president of wildfire mitigation and emergency operations for Pacific Power. “We want eligible customers and care facilities to know this assistance is available and encourage them to apply before the upcoming deadlines so that they can take advantage of these helpful programs, which can offer peace of mind.”

 

To qualify for the residential rebate, applicants need to have an active Pacific Power account number, either as a customer or as the tenant of a Pacific Power customer. They also have to be enrolled in both Pacific Power’s Medical Certificate program and Oregon Low Income Discount program. Eligible customers should select backup power equipment from the program’s qualified product list and meet applicable requirements, which are spelled out in detail on our website.

 

Licensed care facilities also have to have an active Pacific Power account number, either directly or through a Pacific Power customer whose property they occupy. Eligible facilities include licensed residential care homes, care facilities, adult foster homes and hospices.

 

Eligible equipment must be purchased by December 31, 2026, and Pacific Power must receive the completed application and purchase receipt by January 31, 2027. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the program’s annual funding is fully used.

 

Pacific Power launched the Oregon Backup Electric Power Rebate Program in 2023. Since then, the company has issued 421 rebates totaling more than $1.2 million.

 

The program is also helping communities strengthen their backup power readiness. In 2025, Linn County identified eligible care facilities and encouraged them to invest in backup power. Twenty-seven facilities received rebates of $4,000 each, for a total of $108,000. A batch application process is now available for jurisdictions submitting applications for multiple facilities.

 

Customers with questions about batch applications for multiple care facilities may email PacPowerGenerator@resource-innovations.com.
