Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $21 million and $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $42 million and $38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s intangible assets primarily consist of computer software development and hydro licensing costs. Battery storage agreements—PGE has entered into three battery storage PPAs that are expected to be accounted for as leases upon commencement. These projects are summarized as follows: • on January 9, 2026 PGE entered into an agreement with an expected lease commencement date in December 2027 and a term of 20 years. The expected total fixed contract consideration will approximate $612 million over the lease term; • on February 15, 2026, PGE entered into an agreement with an expected lease commencement date in December 2027 and a term of 30 years, subject to approvals. The expected total fixed contract consideration will approximate $331 million over the lease term; and • on February 15, 2026, PGE entered into an agreement with an expected lease commencement date in June 2028 and a term of 20 years, subject to OPUC approval of a waiver filing. The expected total fixed contract consideration will approximate $636 million over the lease term. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities Regulatory assets and liabilities consist of the following (in millions):
* Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. January 2024 storm and damage—Beginning January 13, 2024, the Company’s service territory encountered a severe winter weather event that included snow, ice, and high winds over several days that caused catastrophic damage to physical assets and resulted in widespread customer power outages. As a result of the historic winter storm, Oregon’s Governor declared a state of emergency on January 18, 2024, which allows PGE to seek recovery of incremental storm expenses through the OPUC pre-authorized emergency deferral mechanism, subject to the application of an earnings test. On February 9, 2024, PGE filed a Notice of Deferral with the OPUC, under Docket UM 2190, related to the emergency restoration costs for the January storm. On March 18, 2026, PGE received the OPUC's final order for the storm recovery docket which included a disallowance for some operating and maintenance costs of $1 million and application of an earnings test. The OPUC ordered the application of an earnings test at 20 basis points below the Company's 2024 allowed return on equity of 9.5% on the deferred storm costs. The application of the earnings test resulted in an additional $3 million reduction of the previously deferred amounts. After application of adjustments per the final order, PGE’s deferred balance as of March 31, 2026 was $44 million, including interest, which began amortizing on April 1, 2026 over a two year period. The deferred balance as of June 30, 2026 was $42 million. Reliability contingency events—As approved by the OPUC in PGE’s 2024 GRC, the Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) mechanism allows PGE to defer and recover 80% of prudent costs for RCEs above amounts forecasted in the Company’s Annual Power Cost Update Tariff, without application of an earnings test, with the remaining 20% flowing through operating expenses and subject to the existing power cost adjustment mechanism (PCAM). Results of the PCAM are filed annually with the OPUC no later than July 1, initiating a regulatory review process that typically results in a final determination and order from the OPUC by the end of the year of filing, with any resulting refund or collection impacting customer prices effective in the following year. RCE costs incurred and deferred are included in each years' respective PCAM filing. On March 18, 2026, the OPUC issued its final order in the 2024 RCE mechanism docket which resulted in the approval for recovery of $70 million in deferred costs, before consideration of interest, after determining that costs should be shared at a level of 90%, resulting in a reduction of $8 million to the recovery request. In addition, the OPUC disagreed with PGE's method of estimating the impacts related to wind generating resources in the day ahead forecasts of $2 million, resulting in a total reduction of $10 million in previously deferred costs. The OPUC also declined to extend the sunset date for the RCE mechanism. After application of adjustments per the final order, PGE’s deferred balance as of March 31, 2026, related to RCEs was $80 million, which included $78 million related to RCEs deferred in 2024 and $2 million related to RCEs deferred in 2025. The 2024 deferred balance began amortizing into customer prices on April 1, 2026 and is to be collected over a two-year period. On July 1, 2026, under the Company's PCAM, Advice 26-26 was submitted to the OPUC seeking recovery to begin on April 1, 2027 of $2 million in costs deferred during RCEs in 2025. PGE believes the deferred amounts as of June 30, 2026 are probable of recovery. Wildfire Mitigation—Wildfire Mitigation represents incremental costs and investments made by PGE related to efforts on its system to mitigate the risk of wildfire and improve resiliency to wildfire damage under Oregon Senate Bill 762, enacted in 2021. These efforts include enhanced tree and brush clearing, hardening and undergrounding equipment, and making emergency plans in close partnership with various land and emergency management agencies to further expand the use of a public safety power shutoff, when the risk warrants. On June 25, 2026 PGE's 2026-2028 risk-based Wildfire Mitigation Plan was approved by the OPUC. The plan includes annual updates as part of the ongoing regulatory process. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, PGE’s deferred balance related to incremental wildfire mitigation operating expenses was $45 million and $42 million, respectively. The 2026 balance is comprised of:
• 2024 Automatic Adjustment Clause (AAC)—As of June 30, 2026, there was $20 million deferred as a regulatory asset in the balancing account related to 2024. On March 18, 2026, PGE received approval to recover this remaining O&M expense beginning May 1, 2026 with a twelve-month amortization period. • 2025 AAC— As of June 30, 2026, there was $9 million deferred as a regulatory asset in the balancing account related to 2025. On May 26, 2026, PGE received approval to recover this remaining O&M expense beginning June 1, 2026 with a twelve-month amortization period. • 2026 AAC—In conjunction with PGE’s filed 2026-2028 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, PGE submitted an advice filing for the first phase of 2026 with the intent of recovering $28 million related to O&M, which was approved and effective on April 1, 2026. On July 7, 2026, PGE submitted an advice filing for the second phase of 2026 with the intent of recovering an additional $22 million related to O&M and $23 million related to capital revenue requirement with a Commission decision expected on or before the effective date of August 19, 2026. Although the OPUC has not approved all of PGE’s 2026 wildfire mitigation O&M, PGE does not believe it is precluded from deferring such costs. Any differences between actual expense and customer collections will be recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities within the AAC balancing account, which will be subject to a prudence review, but will not be subject to an earnings test. As of June 30, 2026, there was $16 million deferred as a regulatory asset in the balancing account related to 2026. The OPUC has significant discretion in making the final determination of recovery. The OPUC’s conclusion of overall prudence could result in a portion, or all, of PGE’s deferrals being disallowed for recovery. Such disallowance would be recognized as a charge to earnings. Portland Harbor Environmental Remediation Account—The impact of costs related to EPA liabilities on the Company’s results of operations is mitigated by the Portland Harbor Environmental Remediation Account (PHERA) mechanism. As approved by the OPUC, the PHERA allows the Company to defer estimated liabilities and recover prudently incurred environmental expenditures related to Portland Harbor through a combination of third-party proceeds, including but not limited to insurance recoveries, and, if necessary, through customer prices. The mechanism established annual prudency reviews of environmental expenditures and third-party proceeds. Annual expenditures in excess of $6 million, excluding expenses related to contingent liabilities, are subject to an annual earnings test and would be ineligible for recovery to the extent PGE’s actual regulated return on equity exceeds its return on equity as authorized by the OPUC in PGE’s most recent GRC. PGE’s results of operations may be impacted to the extent such expenditures are deemed imprudent by the OPUC or ineligible per the prescribed earnings test. The Company plans to seek recovery of any costs resulting from the EPA’s determination of liability for Portland Harbor through application of the PHERA. For more information on the determination of PGE's share of liability, see "EPA Investigation of Portland Harbor" in Note 8, Contingencies. At this time, PGE is not collecting any Portland Harbor cost from the PHERA through customer prices. As of June 30, 2026, there was $42 million of eligible costs deferred as a regulatory asset. To conform with current year presentation, the Company has reclassified $24 million from Other to Portland harbor environmental remediation account in the Regulatory assets section of the table above. Clearwater RAC—The Clearwater RAC represents all costs and benefits associated with Clearwater. Under the RAC, during 2023, the Company submitted a filing for Clearwater proposing to defer the revenue requirement, net of net variable power cost (NVPC) benefits, from the in-service date of January 2024 until Clearwater was reflected in customer prices, which was March 1, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, PGE deferred the revenue requirement, net of NVPC benefits resulting in a net regulatory liability of $40 million, which amortized as a refund to customers over a twelve-month period beginning on March 1, 2025 as approved in OPUC Order 25-075 issued February 21, 2025. For the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, PGE deferred an additional net $13 million regulatory liability, which was approved and began amortizing on April 1, 2026 over a twelve-month period. As of June 30, 2026, there was $9 million deferred as a regulatory liability in the balancing account. Other Investments PGE has investments in non-marketable equity securities for which the Company does not have controlling financial interest however, based on PGE’s ownership interest, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments are accounted for at cost, adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s earnings or losses, distributions received, and impairments, if any. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, equity method investments were $21 million and $19 million, respectively, recorded in Other noncurrent assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, the Company's share of net earnings or losses from equity method investments were immaterial. PGE’s share of earnings or losses are recorded as Miscellaneous income, net within Other income, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following (in millions):
Credit Facilities On September 10, 2025, PGE entered into an amendment of its existing revolving credit facility that extended the scheduled expiration into September 2030. As of June 30, 2026, PGE had a $750 million revolving credit facility that provides the Company the ability to expand to $850 million, if needed. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including as backup for commercial paper borrowings and to permit the issuance of standby letters of credit. PGE may borrow for one, three, or six months at a fixed interest rate established at the time of the borrowing, or at a variable interest rate for any period up to the then remaining term of the applicable credit facility. The revolving credit facility contains a provision that requires annual fees based on the Company’s unsecured credit ratings, and contains customary covenants and default provisions, including a requirement that limits consolidated indebtedness, as defined in the agreement, to 65% of total capitalization. As of June 30, 2026, PGE was in compliance with this covenant with a 54.4% debt-to-total capital ratio. The Company has a commercial paper program under which it may issue commercial paper for terms of up to 270 days. The Company has elected to limit its borrowings under the revolving credit facility in order to allow for coverage of any potential need to repay commercial paper that may be outstanding at the time. As of June 30, 2026, PGE had no commercial paper outstanding. Under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, as of June 30, 2026, PGE had no borrowings outstanding and there were no letters of credit issued. As a result, the aggregate unused available credit capacity under the revolving credit facility was $750 million. PGE typically classifies borrowings under the revolving credit facility and outstanding commercial paper as Short-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, PGE has four letter of credit facilities that provide a total capacity of $320 million under which the Company can request letters of credit for original terms not to exceed one year. The issuance of such letters of credit is subject to the approval of the issuing institution. Under these facilities, letters of credit for a total of $126 million were outstanding as of June 30, 2026. Letters of credit issued are not reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to an order issued by the FERC, the Company is authorized to issue short-term debt in an aggregate amount of up to $900 million through February 6, 2028. Long-term Debt On March 23, 2026, PGE entered into a 24-month credit agreement with lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million. PGE drew four loans from the Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million, with $270 million outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The final loan, in the amount of $80 million, occurred on July 2, 2026. The loans bear interest for the relevant interest period at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an Applicable Margin of 110.0 basis points.
