With its headquarters in Portland, Oregon, the company operates in six states, including Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, serving over 2 million customers. PacifiCorp is renowned for its commitment to renewable energy, grid innovation, and environmental stewardship. It has steadily transitioned to cleaner sources of energy while implementing grid modernization initiatives that enhance the reliability and security of its energy services.

The company accomplishes this through its two main subsidiaries: Pacific Power, which focuses on the western states, and Rocky Mountain Power, which operates primarily in the Mountain West.
