The oldest panels on our list
The median Portland home was built in 1966, the oldest median of any city we serve, and 52 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024). If yours says FPE, Federal Pacific, or Zinsco on the door, tell us.
Portland Permitting and Development
Portland's permit office is Portland Permitting and Development. We apply for the electrical permit and coordinate inspections for your panel work.
PGE or Pacific Power
Portland is split between two utilities. PGE says it serves most of SW and NW, much of SE, a large part of North, and a small part of Northeast, and that anything outside is Pacific Power. Which one your house is on decides who handles a service upgrade, and your bill names it.
