Forward Guidance
PGE is raising its full-year 2021 earnings guidance from $2.55 to $2.70 per diluted share to $2.70 to $2.85 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:
Positive Outlook
- An increase in annual energy deliveries from 1% and 1.5%, to 2.5% to 3.0%, weather-adjusted, which reflects year over year: Commercial segment growth, as economic recovery has taken hold earlier and more rapidly than anticipated
- Strong growth in the industrial segment reflecting expansions in high tech manufacturing and digital services
- Normal temperatures in its utility service territory for the remainder of the year
- Hydro conditions for the remainder of year that reflect current estimates
- Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available
Challenges Ahead
- These increases are partially offset by a decrease in residential demand as customers spend less time at home
- Normal thermal plant operations for the remainder of the year
- Capital expenditures of $700 million
- Revised average construction work in progress balance from $340 million to $390 million
- Revised operating and maintenance expense from between $595 million and $615 million, to between $605 million and $625 million in order to enhance and accelerate vegetation management and grid restoration and resiliency
