Portland General (NYSE: POR) details 18% portfolio expansion, 4.7% load growth and clean energy push

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Portland General Electric Company is asking shareholders to elect nine directors, approve 2025 executive pay on an advisory basis, and ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for 2026. The company highlights a recently announced acquisition of PacifiCorp’s Washington generation, transmission and utility operations, which is expected to expand its overall portfolio by approximately 18% while operating as a separate entity.

Management reports 2025 load growth of 4.7%, driven by data centers, high‑tech manufacturing and residential demand, and emphasizes a strategy built around decarbonizing power, electrifying the economy and improving performance. PGE energized the 200 MW Seaside battery storage facility, bringing total battery capacity to over 500 MW, and invested over $1.14 billion in capital assets to support customer growth, modernization and reliability. The resource mix reached 46% non‑emitting energy, and the company reduced its cost structure by over $25 million while targeting a long‑term diluted EPS growth trajectory of 5% to 7%. The annual common stock dividend increased from $1.70 to $2.08 per share between 2021 and 2025, a 5.1% compound annual growth rate, and the Board stresses strong governance practices, high director independence and extensive shareholder engagement.

Insights

Utilities equity analyst

PGE pairs strong load and grid investment with a sizable regional expansion.

Portland General Electric outlines a growth story built on rising demand and major capital deployment. Load grew 4.7% in 2025, backed by data centers and high‑tech customers, while the utility invested over $1.14 billion in capital projects to modernize its grid and support reliability.

The recently announced acquisition of PacifiCorp’s Washington operations would expand PGE’s portfolio by about 18%, adding scale and a second state footprint while keeping the acquired business as a separate entity. Execution, integration and regulatory alignment across Oregon and Washington will be important for realizing the benefits of this transaction.

Strategically, PGE is leaning into clean energy and flexibility: 46% of its energy mix is non‑emitting, total battery capacity exceeds 500 MW after energizing the 200 MW Seaside facility, and management cites over $25 million in cost reductions. A long‑term 5%–7% EPS growth target and steady dividend increases from $1.70 to $2.08 per share between 2021 and 2025 frame a shareholder‑return narrative that investors can track through future annual reports and proxy updates.

	Jim Torgerson Board Chair			Message to our Shareholders from our Board Chair and our CEO DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, We are pleased to invite you to attend Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held virtually on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific. This is a dynamic moment for electric utilities in America. We are leading through unprecedented demand growth in a rapidly evolving market and policy environment. At Portland General Electric, one thing will always remain the same- our commitment to providing safe, reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy, while creating value for both customers and shareholders. This year, we are excited for the opportunity to continue to grow, expanding into Washington with our recently announced acquisition of PacifiCorp’s generation, transmission and utility operations. This transaction is a key step in our strategy and complements the work Portland General Electric does every day. Our overall portfolio will grow by approximately 18%, and the acquired operations will operate as a separate entity. These additions bring the benefits of scale and operational expertise to both Oregon and Washington. We continued our focus on operational excellence within our five strategic priorities: •Promoting an investable energy future; •Working to keep customer bills as low as possible; •Supporting data center and high-tech growth in the region's economic development; •Investing in customer-driven clean energy goals; and •Reducing risk through strong operational execution. Portland General Electric continues to be one of the fastest growing utilities in the sector with load growth of 4.7% in 2025, driven by data centers, high-tech manufacturing and a growing residential base. We are leaning into the opportunity presented by this growth, focusing on innovative and cost-effective ways to serve customers. In 2025, we energized the 200 MW Seaside battery storage facility, expanding our total battery capacity to over 500 MW. We also finalized agreements for more than 1,000 megawatts of

Strategy and Performance

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP •We began an ambitious effort in 2010 with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs to reintroduce salmon and steelhead to the Deschutes River During the 2024-2025 run, record numbers of adult steelhead returned to the Pelton Round Butte hydropower project on the Deschutes River. •Our Avian Protection Plan, which includes partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee, works to make our infrastructure safer for birds and increases reliability for our customers. In 2025, we added or replaced more than 6,000 poles and more than 4,000 transformers with versions that feature avian-safe protective covers or design features . •In 2025, we opened the Stone Creek Group campground at Timothy Lake. A majority of the visitors to this property are PGE customers. PGE has a 75 year legacy of recreational stewardship, balancing access with protecting natural and cultural resources.  

INNOVATION •Our service area is attractive to data centers thanks to access to a diverse energy mix, fiber connectivity and a temperate climate. Meeting the increased demand requires innovative approaches that both accelerate load interconnections and protect affordability for all customers. In 2025, we partnered with GridCARE to accelerate large load interconnections using flexibility for data centers, resulting in over 400MW additional capacity of which 80 MW is available for data center load in 2026. By optimizing the use of flexible resources such as batteries, we are able to interconnect data center customers earlier than initially expected. •In 2025, we launched several successful automation projects, including automating reviews of some requisitions and automating reviews of net metering applications, allows us to cut down our process time from 2.5 days to same day. Investing in process automation allows us to eliminate manual processes, increase speed and efficiency and reduce errors. We have an open process encouraging all employees to identify opportunities for automation which are evaluated using a consistent decision-making framework and moved forward to implementation where appropriate. •Innovation has also enabled the use of advanced computing practices to create our own closed-system bots that augment the way we do work, and improve the accuracy of forecasting models providing grid awareness, optimization and planning. AI-driven bots have enhanced our ability to gain information about outage areas and centralize data visibility during storm season, expediting the restoration process. •In 2025 we were awarded the Nikola Tesla Top Innovator in Artificial Intelligence award for developing an AI-powered Purchase Order Audit Bot which automates procurement reviews.

What are you
voting on? We are asking shareholders to elect nine directors to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting.     "FOR" The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the election or re-election of the nominated directors, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Item 1: Election of Directors OUR BOARD IS EXPERIENCED, DIVERSE AND INDEPENDENT The Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, has nominated the following nine directors for election to our Board. All elected directors will serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting, or until their successors are elected and qualified, except in the case of earlier death, resignation or removal. All of the nominees except Ms. James and Mr. Hoglund were elected by shareholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Our nominees have held senior leadership roles at public companies or other large organizations and have extensive experience in a variety of fields, including utility operations and regulation, technology, finance and accounting, corporate governance, law, public policy, and consulting. All of our nominees have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. We have a strong track record of board refreshment. Five independent directors have been added since the beginning of 2022: two in 2022, one in 2024, one in 2025 and one in 2026. This board refreshment brings a variety of perspectives to strategic, financial, operational and sustainability deliberations. If any of the nominees becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that nominees named in this proxy will be unable to serve if elected. Each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. The Board selected our director nominees based on their demonstration of the core attributes described above and the belief that each director can make substantial contributions to our Board and to PGE.

ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board is elected by our shareholders to oversee management in its operation of PGE. In exercising its fiduciary duties, the Board’s goal is to build long-term value for our shareholders and other stakeholders and to ensure the vitality of PGE for our customers, employees and the other individuals and organizations who depend on us.

Key responsibilities of our Board include:

•Establishing a corporate governance framework;

•Overseeing and advising management on Company strategy;

•Overseeing the Company's risk management programs;

•Overseeing the Company's financial reporting;

•Overseeing the Company's human capital management and corporate culture; and

•Conducting Board and executive succession planning.

In the pages that follow we provide information about how our Board fulfills these responsibilities, as well as other important policies and practices of our Board.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The NYSE listing standards require a majority of our directors and each member of our Audit and Risk Committee, Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee to be independent. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director

22    |   Portland General Electric 2026 Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

Item 1: Election of Directors

does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with PGE, including any of the relationships specifically prohibited by the NYSE independence standards.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require at least 75% of our directors to be independent under NYSE independence standards. To assist us in determining the independence of Board members and candidates, the Board has adopted Director Independence Standards, which identify types of relationships that could exist between PGE and a director that would prevent the director from being independent. Our Director Independence Standards are contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, published on our website at https://investors. portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance.

During its annual review of director independence in 2025, the Board considered whether there were any transactions or relationships between PGE and any director or any member of his or her immediate family (or any entity of which a director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder) and whether there were charitable contributions to not-for-profit organizations for which a director or an immediate family member of a director serves as a board member or executive officer.

As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that other than Ms. Pope, all current members of the Board and its standing committees are independent under NYSE listing standards and our Director Independence Standards.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board believes that PGE is best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine its leadership structure based on our evolving needs. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines call for the appointment of a Board Chair and require the appointment of a Lead Independent Director if the Board Chair is not independent. The duties of our Board Chair include:

•Calling and presiding over meetings of the Board;

•Serving as the principal liaison between management and other non-management directors;

•Providing formal input into Board agendas, working closely with the Committees in fulfilling their charter obligations, including risk oversight, the annual Board evaluation and the annual CEO performance review;

•With the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, overseeing the composition of the Board;

•Advising senior management on strategy and significant matters as appropriate; and

•Representing the Board at PGE's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and in communications with shareholders and other stakeholders.

We currently separate the roles of CEO and Board Chair. Jim Torgerson, our Board Chair, is independent as defined in the NYSE listing standards and our own Director Independence Standards, which are described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Our Board periodically reviews our leadership structure to determine whether it continues to serve the interests of the Company. We believe our current leadership structure promotes strong independent Board oversight and management accountability and allows our CEO to focus her time and efforts on establishing our strategic direction and managing the affairs of the Company.

BOARD REFRESHMENT

Under our director retirement and tenure policy, which is contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, candidates will not be nominated for election after age 75, and will not be nominated to serve on the Board for more than 12 years, unless the Board determines that such director’s continued service would be in the best interests of PGE. Our retirement policy is anchored on the need for Board refreshment and balanced tenure at the Board. We have an active board refreshment program with five new directors since 2022 and an average tenure of 4.4 years for the 2026 director nominees.

Evaluation of Board Composition

Candidate Recruitment

Candidate Evaluation

Recommendation to Board

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee evaluates the Board's membership needs.

If the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee determines that there is a need for new candidates, individuals are identified through a variety of methods, including shareholder recommendations.

Candidates are evaluated on whether they exhibit core attributes that our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee looks for in all candidates, as well as Board membership needs.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends selected candidates to the Board for nomination or appointment to the Board.

Evaluation of Board Composition. Each year the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee evaluates the size and composition of the Board to assess whether they are appropriate, considering our evolving needs. In making this evaluation, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers PGE's strategic direction, current director qualifications, experience and perspectives, the results of Board and committee self-assessments and legal and regulatory requirements. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also considers whether there may be a need to fill a future Board vacancy considering our director retirement and tenure policy. With this in mind, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee regularly reviews potential candidates and if the committee identifies a need to fill a future Board vacancy or add to the mix of skills and qualifications represented on the Board, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee oversees the director recruitment process and ultimately recommends nominees to the Board for approval.

Candidate Recruitment. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee identifies new Board candidates through a variety of methods, including the use of third-party search firms, suggestions from current directors, shareholders, or employees and self-nominations. In addition to evaluating a candidate’s individual qualifications, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee consider how a candidate would contribute to the overall mix of experience, qualifications and other attributes represented on our Board. We believe it is important that the Board exhibit diversity across a variety of parameters, including work experience, industry experience, age, perspectives, experience, gender and race. The criteria used naturally results in a diverse board as evidenced by the current Board's composition. The Board has, therefore, not felt the need to adopt a formal Board diversity policy.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers candidates recommended by shareholders. The recommendation and information about the recommended candidate should be sent to the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, in care of our Corporate Secretary, at Portland General Electric Company, 121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301, Portland, Oregon 97204.

The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will use the same process to evaluate a candidate regardless of the source of the recommendation.

Recommendation to the Board of Directors: Each year in advance of our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends a group of nominees to be presented to the shareholders for election to the Board. As appropriate, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also recommends candidates for appointment to the Board between annual meetings. Directors who are appointed by the Board between annual meetings stand for election at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Committee Membership Rotation: The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee periodically considers rotating Board committee membership with a view to balancing the benefits of continuity and specialized knowledge with the benefits of diversity of experience and viewpoints. Typically, rotation decisions are made in connection with re-nomination decisions and become effective upon re-election of directors by our shareholders. If re-elected, consistent with the committee membership rotation considerations in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has approved the following committee assignment rotation to take effect following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: Ms. Pineda will leave the Audit and Risk Committee and join the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE SELF-ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Each year the Board evaluates its performance and effectiveness as well as that of its committees. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee leads the Board’s assessment process. Periodically, the Board engages an outside party experienced in corporate governance matters to facilitate the Board's annual self-assessment process. The Board engaged such an advisor in 2024, and the process continued into 2025. During 2024 and 2025, the advisor conducted one on one, open ended interviews with all Board members to provide each director with the opportunity to identify areas for improvement. In addition to the director interviews, the advisor conducted interviews with members of senior management who regularly attend Board meetings to solicit their perspectives on the relationship between the Board and management. The advisor analyzed the data and benchmarked against similar companies. The results were reviewed by the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee and discussed with the full Board. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also conducted one-on-one discussions with each independent board member in 2025 and also for the most recent self-assessment leading up to this proxy in 2026. The evaluation confirmed that the Board is operating at a high standard and is successfully overseeing the strategy and risks of the company. As part of the review, the Board identified potential opportunities to focus on for the coming year as part of its continuous improvement efforts, including strengthening the existing emergency CEO succession plan and director on-boarding process. During 2025, the advisor met with the Board to advise on work done in the identified areas. The Board uses this feedback as part of its refreshment process.

Item 1: Election of Directors

COMMITMENT FROM OUR BOARD

The Board recognizes that its members benefit from service on the boards of other companies, and it encourages such service. The Board also believes that it is critical that directors dedicate sufficient time to their service on PGE’s Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set a limit of four additional public company boards for Directors. In 2024, the Board updated the Corporate Governance Guidelines to include a further limitation on the number of additional public company boards a Director may hold if that Director is also a named executive officer of a public company. Directors must notify the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Corporate Secretary before accepting an invitation to serve on the board of any other company or becoming an officer of a company. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews and determines whether the position would affect the director's ability to serve on the Board, and in making this determination, the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the time commitment and any conflict or interlocking director or officer restrictions that may apply. Further, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the number of boards a director is on in considering whether to re-nominate a director for election to the Board.

Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve, as well as the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. While the Board understands that circumstances may arise from time to time that prevent a director from attending a meeting, directors are expected to make these meetings a priority. During 2025, each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and meetings held by all committees on which the director served. The director nominees collectively attended 100% of all Board and Board committee meetings. All of the directors attended the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. There were nine meetings of the Board of Directors in 2025.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors must meet in executive session without management at least quarterly. The Chair of the Board presides over executive sessions of the non-management directors. If the non-management directors include directors who are not independent under the NYSE listing standards, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the independent directors to meet separately in executive session at least once a year. There were executive sessions of the non-management directors at every regularly scheduled meeting in 2025. Throughout 2025, all of our non-management directors were independent under the NYSE listing standards and our Director Independence Standards. Accordingly, the meetings of our non-management directors in 2025 also constituted meetings of our independent directors.

Director Resignation Policy

We have adopted a director resignation policy, which is contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Under the policy, any incumbent director who fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election is expected to tender a resignation within five days following the certification of election results. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will promptly consider the offer of resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the offer of resignation. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will base its decision on factors the committee deems relevant, including the stated reason or reasons why shareholders voted against the director’s reelection and whether the director’s resignation from the Board would be in the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. The Board will then act on the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee's recommendation. A director who is required to tender a resignation may not participate in the deliberations or decision regarding the offer of resignation.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require each non-employee director to own shares of PGE common stock with a value equal to at least five times the value of the annual base cash retainer fee for non-employee directors. All of our directors either meet the stock ownership requirement or are on track to do so by the applicable target date. Our stock ownership policy for executive officers is described on page 64 of this Proxy Statement.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors receive information about our business, strategy and management team to familiarize them with PGE before their first Board meeting. We also arrange orientation meetings between each new director and senior leaders throughout the company to help new directors understand the operations of the business and their specific Board and committee duties.

Item 1: Election of Directors

We typically provide continuing education to directors annually on specific topics that relate to our strategic priorities. In 2025, director education session topics included wildfire risk management and mitigations, energy markets, operations and regulatory and accounting for utilities. These sessions are typically led by management. Directors are encouraged to visit our facilities. Directors may also attend external education programs and are reimbursed for the cost of those programs.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our Board recognizes that transactions between PGE and certain individuals and entities, including our directors and officers, may raise questions as to whether those transactions are consistent with the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy, which addresses our policies regarding the review, approval or ratification of certain transactions between PGE and “related persons,” including our directors, executive officers, director nominees and owners of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities. Under the policy, transactions between PGE and a related person involving more than $120,000 in which the related person has a direct or indirect material interest are not permitted unless the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee determines that the transaction is not inconsistent with the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. Before entering into such a transaction with PGE, the related person or the business unit leader responsible for the potential transaction is required to provide notice to the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction. Certain types of transactions—including executive and director compensation that is required to be disclosed under SEC disclosure rules and the provision of tariff-based utility service—are exempt from the policy.

Our Related Person Transactions Policy supplements and does not supersede other policies that apply to transactions with related persons, such as our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. Under our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, our directors, officers and employees must report any violation of the code or any situation or matters that may be considered to be unethical or a conflict of interest. There are no family relationships between any director, director nominee or executive officer. Any conflict of interest under the code involving a director, an executive officer or our Controller is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. Only the Audit and Risk Committee may waive such a conflict, which will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders as required by law.

Our Related Person Transactions Policy can be found at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD

The Board and the Audit and Risk Committee have approved a process for handling communications to the Board and its committees. Shareholders and other interested parties may submit written communications to the Board (including the Chair), a Board committee or the non-management directors as a group. Communications may include the reporting of concerns related to governance, corporate conduct, business ethics, financial practices, legal issues and accounting or audit matters. Communications should be in writing and addressed to the Board, or any individual director or group or committee of directors by either name or title, and should be sent in care of:

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit and Risk Committee; the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee; the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee; and the Finance and Operations Committee. Each standing committee has a Board-approved charter, which is reviewed annually by the respective committee and by our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Board may also establish temporary committees as needed to address specific issues that arise from time to time.

Each year our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews the composition and mandates of our standing committees to ensure that they continue to support the effective execution of the Board's responsibilities. The Board approves committee and chair assignments at least annually.

Each Board committee may retain and compensate consultants or other advisors as necessary for it to carry out its duties. To the extent permitted by law and the NYSE listing standards, Board committees may form subcommittees and delegate authority to the subcommittees, or to a committee chair individually.

One of the Board's primary functions is to assist management with the development of our long-term business strategy. Our Board conducts an annual offsite Board session focused solely on PGE's strategy. During this session, the Board and management discuss the competitive landscape in our industry, emerging technologies, significant business risks and opportunities, and PGE's strategic priorities. These sessions have generally included presentations provided by outside experts and business leaders on matters of strategic significance to us. In 2025, the focus was on grid readiness and wildfire preparedness. The Board visited PGE facilities to learn more about grid operations as well as wildfire risk mitigation activities. The Board also met with local and national policy experts on wildfire regulation and potential legislation. Directors with expertise in a specific strategic area also confer with management outside of Board meetings.

Throughout the year, our management team regularly reports to the Board on the execution of our long-term strategic plans, the status of important projects and initiatives, and the key opportunities and risks facing PGE. For more information on our long-term strategy, see page 4 of this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board and its committees have broad responsibility for the oversight of significant strategic, operational, financial, reputational, emerging and environmental, social and governance risk, and actively review our Enterprise Risk Management program.

Management is responsible for day-to-day identification and management of risk. To ensure consistency and comprehensiveness in its approach, we have an Executive Risk Committee to oversee our risk management programs. A core function of the Executive Risk Committee is to identify top risks and sponsor enterprise-wide risk assessments, the results of which are used to inform our goals and strategic priorities for the next year. Key risk mitigations are included in our incentive programs as strategic goals. We have also established standing executive committees with responsibility for managing risks over defined areas and reporting as appropriate to the Executive Risk Committee or the Audit and Risk Committee. These include our Integrated Security, Operations, People and Strategy Executive Steering

Committees. The Executive Risk Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors consider changes in the Company's strategy and in the overall risk landscape when determining the Company's top risks.

The Board is responsible for assessing whether management has put in place effective systems to identify, evaluate and manage the material risks facing PGE. The Board satisfies its oversight function through regular reporting from management on areas of material risk, including financial, strategic, operational, cybersecurity, environmental, legal and regulatory risks. Each quarter, management reports to the Audit and Risk Committee on the Enterprise Risk Management program's activities and findings related to reviews of top Company risks. At least annually, the Board and the Finance and Operations Committee also review corporate goals and approve capital budgets to align with PGE's strategy.

While the full Board has ultimate responsibility for oversight of risk management, each of the standing committees of the Board has been assigned a role in assisting the Board with its oversight responsibilities. Key risk areas overseen by the Board's committees are shown below:

SENIOR MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING

Our Board understands that our people and our culture are vital to our continued success. We seek to attract and retain a talented, motivated and diverse workforce and to maintain a culture that reflects our core values, our drive for performance and our commitment to acting with the highest levels of honesty, integrity and compliance.

Senior Management Succession

The Board believes CEO succession planning is one of its most important responsibilities. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board oversees CEO and senior management succession planning and talent development with the assistance of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Compensation Culture and Talent Committee to ensure there is a pool of internal candidates who can assume executive officer positions.

At least annually, the Board reviews succession plans for senior management, which includes a review of the qualifications and development plans of potential internal candidates and diversity of the succession pipeline. In 2025, the Board used an external firm to gain an independent perspective on the abilities of potential internal candidates, and monitors the development plans as they progress. Directors also regularly have an opportunity to meet and engage with potential internal senior management successors at Board and committee meetings and during operational visits. In addition, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee regularly conducts in-depth reviews of development plans for promising management talent. The Board maintains an emergency succession plan for the CEO, which is reviewed annually.

Human Capital Management

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing our human capital management programs. In addition to providing input on leadership succession planning and talent development, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee regularly engages with management on a broad range of human capital management topics, including strategic workforce planning, labor relations, employee engagement, pay equity, employee engagement, employee well-being programs and performance management.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We offer non-management directors both cash and equity compensation. Cash compensation is provided in the form of annual cash retainers for Board and committee service. Equity is provided in the form of an annual grant of restricted stock units (RSUs). Ms. Pope is not paid any additional compensation for her services as a director. Our 2025 director compensation arrangements are described below.

Annual Cash Retainer and Equity Awards		Amount ($)

2026 Proxy Statement Portland General Electric    | 35

Table of Contents

Item 1: Election of Directors

Annual Equity Awards

Under our 2025 equity compensation arrangements, each non-management director receives an annual grant of a number of RSUs determined by dividing $155,000 by the closing price of PGE's common stock on the grant date, rounding to the nearest whole share. Each award is fully vested when granted. Directors who join the Board during the year are awarded a pro rata portion of the annual award, based on the number of calendar months during which the director served on the Board that year.

Director Deferred Compensation Plan

Non-management directors first appointed or elected to the Board before April 23, 2019 are eligible to participate in our 2006 Outside Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan allows participants to defer the payment of Board retainers as well as any other form of cash compensation they may receive from PGE. Deferral elections must be made no later than December 15 of the taxable year preceding the year in which the compensation is earned. Deferrals accumulate in an account that earns interest at a rate that is one-half a percentage point higher than the annual yield on Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index. Directors may elect to receive payments, which commence 65 days after the end of the month in which the participant separates from Board service, under the plan in a lump sum or in monthly installments for a period of up to 180 months. Death benefits, which consists of the balance of the participant’s account including interest, are payable to the beneficiary commencing 65 days after the end of the month in which the participant dies in the same form as elected for payments at separation from service. These benefits are unfunded and depend on the continued solvency of PGE. The following directors/retired directors participate in our 2006 Outside Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan: Rodney Brown Jr., Jack Davis, Kirby Dyess, and Michael Millegan.

Determination of Director Compensation

The compensation of our non-management directors is determined by the Board of Directors upon a recommendation from the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee makes its recommendation after receiving input from its independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, and management. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee retained FW Cook to evaluate and make recommendations regarding director compensation for 2025. FW Cook's evaluation included identifying industry trends and market data for directors' compensation, reviewing and identifying peer group companies, and evaluating director compensation data for these companies. Management's input focuses on compliance, legal and administrative matters.

In July 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee recommended and the Board agreed to adjustments to non-management director compensation to bring them into reasonable alignment with the market. Based on the recommendations of FW Cook, the Board increased cash retainers from $70,000 to $75,000 and increased equity compensation for directors from $145,000 as approved in July 2023 to $155,000.

Item 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers and to provide them with incentives to advance the interests of our stakeholders, which include our shareholders, our customers, our employees and the communities we serve. Our programs are described in accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative discussion.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement by voting to approve the resolution set forth below. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders, on a non-binding advisory basis to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

What are you
voting on?

We are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid for 2025 to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.

"FOR"

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Portland General Electric Company (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.”

Approval of this proposal will require that the number of votes cast in favor of this proposal exceeds the number of votes cast against this proposal. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on PGE or the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. However, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee and the Board value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions regarding named executive officers.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Role of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, establishes our compensation philosophy and practices and develops, reviews and approves the compensation of the Company’s executive officers.

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s executive compensation determinations are the result of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s business judgment, which is informed by the experience of its members and input provided by its independent compensation consultant, our CEO (other than with respect to her own compensation), other members of management and shareholders.

Each year, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee conducts an evaluation of the Company's executive compensation program to determine any appropriate changes. In making this determination, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may consult with its independent compensation consultant and management, as described below; however, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee makes final decisions regarding the compensation paid to our named executive officers based on its own judgment.

In determining whether to make changes to our executive compensation program, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the size, scope and performance of our business, evolving compensation trends, financial goals, shareholders’ interests and peer comparisons as described below.

Key Actions of Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee	Annual review of executive officers' performance
	Establishes base salaries, annual cash awards and equity awards for all executive officers other than the CEO, unless approved by the independent directors acting as a committee
	Recommends base salary, annual cash awards and equity awards for the CEO

Key Actions of Independent Directors	Annual review of CEO performance
	Considers recommendations of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee and approves base salary, annual cash awards and equity awards for the CEO

The Role of the Compensation Consultant. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selects and retains the services of its own independent compensation consultant and annually reviews the performance of the consultant. As part of the review process, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers the independence of the consultant in accordance with SEC and NYSE rules.

During 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, provided no services to the Company other than services for the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and worked with the Company’s management, as directed by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, only on matters for which the committee is responsible.

At the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s request, FW Cook regularly attends committee meetings. FW Cook also communicates with the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee or the Chair of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee outside committee meetings regarding matters related to the committee’s responsibilities. FW Cook prepares a comprehensive compensation risk assessment study to evaluate whether the Company's compensation programs are likely to create a material risk for the Company.

In 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee generally sought input from FW Cook on a range of external market factors related to the Company's compensation programs, CEO pay, and other evolving compensation trends, including regulatory developments and best practices, appropriate market reference points, and market compensation data. FW Cook reported on and provided market compensation data and trends regarding director compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

programs and general observations about management’s recommendations regarding the amount and form of compensation for our named executive officers.

Key Actions of Independent Consultant	Advises the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on compensation plan design
	Advises the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on appropriate compensation levels, trends and regulatory developments
	Performs annual compensation risk assessment for consideration by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee

In addition, management has engaged its own compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, to assist with a variety of compensation design matters, including compensation benchmarking and the development of recommendations on compensation program design.

The Role of the Chief Executive Officer. At the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee's request, Ms. Pope provides input regarding the performance and compensation of the other named executive officers. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers Ms. Pope’s evaluation and her direct knowledge of each named executive officer’s performance and contributions when making compensation decisions. Ms. Pope is not present during the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee's, or the Board's, voting or deliberations regarding her own compensation.

Key Actions of CEO	Provides input on executive officers' performance
	Makes recommendations on compensation plan design
	Provides information about Company's performance relative to incentive plan goals

The Role of Shareholders. Shareholders are provided the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers and have indicated their strong support for the compensation of our named executive officers in each of the past five years. Most recently, 98% of votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at the 2025 annual meeting voted in favor of our executive compensation program. We have ongoing discussions with many of our shareholders regarding various corporate governance topics, including environmental, social, and governance, executive compensation, and related trends. In addition, in 2025, we conducted a proactive outreach program with the governance teams of our largest shareholders. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers these discussions while reviewing our executive compensation program and will continue to consider shareholder feedback and the results of say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions.

The Role of Market Data and Peer Companies. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers compensation market comparisons to ensure the competitiveness of the Company's executives’ pay. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee views the labor market for our most senior positions as a nationwide, broad cross-section of companies in various industries, and recognizes that this labor market varies by position. The use of both general industry and utility benchmarking data reflects the competitive labor market from which we recruit executives. For the 2025 executive compensation program, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee evaluated pay by reference to the 50th percentile of the relevant market, reviewing data in total and by comparison (base salaries, incentive awards and equity awards). Positions relative to the 50th percentile may vary based on factors such as time in position, experience, qualifications, performance, and considerations of internal equity.

Actual compensation for named executive officers may be higher or lower than target compensation, as it reflects actual performance and payouts under our performance-based annual incentive award and our long-term equity based incentive awards.

When benchmarking executive pay, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee relies on benchmarking surveys, as well as publicly available information regarding the pay practices of a group of utility industry peer companies selected by our Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee each year. We use general industry survey data as appropriate to reflect the realities of the competitive marketplace for the Company’s talent needs for certain positions. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee reviews and approves peer group composition each year. With the assistance of FW Cook, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee identified groups of companies to serve as market reference points for compensation comparison purposes for 2025.

2026 Proxy Statement Portland General Electric    | 45

Table of Contents

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

A peer group for 2025 compensation decisions was developed for reference consisting of companies that represent the best match with the Company based on the following criteria:

•Vertically Integrated Utility. Our peer companies should be vertically integrated utilities, with a business mix focused on either regulated electric operations or a balance of regulated electric and regulated gas operations.

•Minimal Non-Regulated Business Activities. Non-regulated businesses should not be key drivers of the financial performance and strategy of our peer companies.

•Comparable Size. Our peer companies should be within a reasonable range relative to key financial measures, including revenue, market capitalization, and enterprise value.

•Investment-Grade Credit Ratings. Our peer companies should have credit ratings that allow for financing at a reasonable cost in most market environments.

•Balanced Customer Mix. Our peer companies should have a balanced retail, commercial and industrial mix and service territories not overly reliant on one key customer or industry sector.

•Regulatory Environment. Our peer companies should have a comparable cost of service ratemaking process and allowed return on equity, as well as a history of allowed recovery on regulatory assets, fuel and power costs and prudently incurred deferred costs.

•Capital Structure. Our peer companies should demonstrate moderate leverage (generally less than 60% debt to total capitalization ratio) and no significant liquidity concerns.

•Growth Opportunities. The growth opportunities of our peer companies should be based primarily on regulated activities.

For 2025 the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selected the following companies to serve as our compensation peer group:

	2025 Compensation Peer Group
	ALLETE, Inc.1			Black Hills Corporation			IDACORP, Inc.			OGE Energy Corp.
	Alliant Energy Corporation			Evergy, Inc.			NiSource, Inc.			Pinnacle West Capital Corporation
	Avista Corporation			Hawaiian Electric			NorthWestern Corporation			TXNM Energy, Inc.

1. ALLETE, Inc. became a private company on December 15, 2025.

Based on data compiled by Willis Towers Watson at the time of the 2025 peer group review, PGE was positioned near the median of the peer group in terms of revenue and market capitalization:

PGE VS. 2025 PEER GROUP

Revenue																											PGE 58th Percentile

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Role of Internal Equity. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee uses internal pay equity principles to determine the compensation for positions that are unique or difficult to benchmark against market and peer data. Internal equity is also considered when establishing compensation for positions with similar responsibility levels, especially where precise external market data is not available.

In addition to internal equity, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee's executive compensation philosophy is to manage total target direct compensation around the market 50th percentile, with individual differentiation that considers factors such as individual performance, experience, scope and impact of each role and individual skills and competencies.

2025 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Elements

The three components of the total direct compensation delivered in our program are: 1) Base Salaries; 2) Annual Cash Incentive Awards; and 3) Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards. The following table describes the principal elements of our 2025 compensation program.

		Element		Form		Key Objective and Characteristics
Fixed		Base Salaries		Cash		Establishes a market-competitive pay foundation that reflects each executive's experience, skills and performance and is intended to attract and retain executives
Performance Conditioned and Variable		Annual Cash Incentive Awards		Cash		Focus executive's attention on achievement of relatively short-term financial, operating and strategic goals that we believe will increase long-term shareholder value and benefit our customers
						Based on Financial Performance (Net Income) (weighted at 50%), Operational Performance (weighted at 25%) and Strategic Initiative Performance Goals (weighted at 25%)
			Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards			Equity		Directly aligns executive's pay with long-term value provided to shareholders, and benefits customers by enhancing executive's focus on the Company's long-term goals
								Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (weighted at 70%) measured by: •EPS Growth •Clean Energy and Capacity •Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
					Service-Based Restricted Stock Units (weighted at 30%): •Vest ratably over three years

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Performance-Conditioned Compensation

A significant portion of our executives' total direct compensation is tied to Company performance. The following charts show that incentive compensation represented 85% of the 2025 target total direct compensation for our CEO and 71% of the 2025 target total direct compensation for our other named executive officers.

2025 Target Direct Compensation for Chief Executive Officer		2025 Target Direct Compensation for Named Executive Officers other than the CEO

Base Salaries

When setting annual base salaries for our named executive officers, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers market data provided by its independent compensation consultant, internal pay equity, and the Company's financial performance relative to peer companies.

The independent members of our Board approved our CEO’s 2025 base salary after receiving a recommendation from the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. This determination was based on a comprehensive review of Ms. Pope's performance for 2024.

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considered the recommendations of our CEO and market data before setting the 2025 salaries of our other named executive officers. Base salary recommendations are based on a variety of considerations, including market competitiveness, individual performance and qualifications, internal pay equity, and retention risk.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards

OVERVIEW

Our Annual Cash Incentive Plan (ACI Plan) is a variable, at-risk component of our named executive officers' compensation and is aligned with the Company's financial, operational, and strategic goals as established each year by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.

The annual cash incentive program provides payout opportunities based on the achievement of predetermined financial, operational, and strategic goals that require our named executive officers to meet high standards of performance.

For 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selected key quantitative financial and operating performance metrics as part of the 2025 ACI Plan: Net Income, Customer Delight, and Distribution and Generation Reliability. In addition, the Compensation Culture and Talent Committee selected five equally weighted strategic initiative goals: customer trust, infrastructure readiness, operational excellence, wildfire mitigation and workforce development. For each category the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee assigned a target score and potential score range reflecting the relative weight given the goal category. Specific quantitative scores were set for goals that comprised most of the target score.

The formula for calculating awards under our 2025 ACI Plan is shown below:

Award Earned = Target Award x Financial Performance % X 50% + Operating Performance % X 25% + Strategic Initiative Performance % X 25%

Under the formula above, award payouts are determined by multiplying each officer’s target award by a “performance percentage” based on the achievement of financial, operational and strategic initiative goals during the year. Each of the performance percentages can range from 0% to 200%, with financial performance weighted 50%, operational performance weighted 25% and strategic initiatives weighted 25%. This results in a maximum ACI payout opportunity equal to 200% of the target award.

2026 Proxy Statement Portland General Electric    | 49

Table of Contents

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

When setting the goals for 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considered many factors, including the alignment between appropriate payout opportunities and strong financial results at threshold, target, and maximum performance goal levels. Unless the threshold goal is achieved for a performance measure, no payout is made for that measure. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may, in its judgment, exclude the impact of unusual, non-recurring events that occur during the year.

Vesting of an award generally requires continued employment until the payment date. However, if an officer’s employment is terminated before that date due to retirement, death, or disability, the officer is entitled to a prorated portion of the award, based on the number of days served during the award year.

Looking Ahead

For the 2026 ACI Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee updated definitions for the Net Income measure to be calculated on a non-GAAP basis. Using non-GAAP Net Income for purposes of the ACI aligns with the performance metrics used by our peers, best practices, and the business performance measures used by management and provided to our shareholders.

2025 ACI Plan Target Awards

Target awards for our named executive officers were established by multiplying each officer's 2025 base salary paid by an award multiple established by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The target awards for our named executive officers were generally aligned with the market median for their positions. (See page 44 for a discussion of how we evaluated the market-competitiveness of our executives’ compensation.)

Name		Target Award ($)(1)		Target Award as % of 2025 Base Salary(1) Paid
Maria Pope		1,324,985		120%
Joseph Trpik		487,731		75%
Benjamin Felton		523,615		75%
Martin Wyspianski(2)		325,000		65%
Angelica Espinosa		409,615		75%

1. Includes the value of paid time off taken during the year and base salary deferred to the 2005 MDCP plan.

2.Per Mr. Wyspianski's employment offer, 2025 annual cash incentive is based on his annualized base salary.

2025 ACI Performance Metric Rationale

		Metric		Measurement	Why We Use this Metric
Financial		Net Income		Measured by the Company’s net income for the year.(1)	Net income is a driver of shareholder value creation in the regulated utility industry.
Operations		Customer Delight		Average of the Company’s key customer, residential and general business Customer Delight scores. Customer delight is defined as a rating of 9 or 10 for overall satisfaction on a 0-10 scale. These ratings are weighted according to the Company’s annual revenues from each customer group. Targets were established to meet or exceed top decile performance for Residential and Business customers among approximately 100 electric utilities measured in Escalent's National Energy Utility Benchmarking database.	Customer delight is a measure of our ability to run our business in a way that meets the needs of our customers.
		Distribution Reliability		SAIDI (a standard industry measure for outage duration), which is equal to the total number of minutes an average customer experiences service interruption during the year.	Delivering reliable electric service to our customers is our Company’s core business. Outage duration is a fundamental measure of service reliability that our customers care about.
		Generation Reliability		A split between generation availability (75%) and third quarter forced outage for thermal plants (25%). Availability is the amount of time that a generating plant is able to produce electricity during the year (determined by subtracting from total hours in the period all maintenance outage hours, planned outage hours and forced outage hours), divided by the number of hours in the year. To set the maximum, target, and threshold performance levels for this goal, we established individual plant goals, which were then weighted to produce overall performance targets. Third quarter forced outage for thermal plant plans measures unplanned outages during the most critical summer months for thermal plants to be available.	Our ability to achieve our financial objectives and serve our customers depends in part on our generation plants’ delivery of reliable and affordable power.

		Workforce Development		Measured by progress in the following areas: •Strengthen leadership and workforce to accelerate change	Build an engaged and resilient workforce serving dynamic customer needs

1.Targets for the 2025 ACI plan were set based on Net Income (GAAP) but the ACI Plan permits the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee to adjust results (Non-GAAP) if it believes such adjustments are necessary to eliminate the impact of certain unusual events that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance.

Customer Delight performance was below target. Distribution Reliability with respect to SAIDI and overall General Reliability were above target.
			Progress on Strategic Initiatives.
			Results for our strategic goals were close to or above target, resulting in an overall performance percentage of 116%. Highlights of our progress toward our 2025 strategic goals are included on the following page.

1.See Appendix A for a reconciliation of Net Income from non-GAAP Net Income shown here, including a list of the unusual items that are infrequent in nature and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance.

When determining final compensation with respect to the 2025 ACI Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee took into consideration the impact of unusual items that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance and were not reflective of management’s actual performance results in 2025. These one-time events were reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to Net Income. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee determined, as allowed under the ACI Plan, that basing the results on non-GAAP Net Income instead of GAAP Net Income better aligns management’s actual performance for 2025 with the ACI payout and is consistent with practices at peer companies. The ACI payout would have been 61% had the results included only GAAP Net Income in the financial metrics. As a result of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s determination to use non-GAAP adjustments for unusual items that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, the ACI payout is 93%. See Appendix A for additional information on these non-GAAP adjustments.

See Appendix A for a reconciliation of Net Income from the actual results (Non-GAAP Net Income) shown here.

2.Non-GAAP Net Income of $336.9 million compared to a target of $362.25 million resulted in a Net Income performance level of 93% of target.

3.Generation Reliability metric is one-third of the total operating goals and is a split between Generation Plant Availability, which is weighted 75% of Generation Reliability metric, and Third Quarter Forced Outage of our Thermal Plants, which is weighted 25% of the total Generation Reliability metric.

4.Based on a qualitative assessment of progress on the specific projects identified for each Strategic Initiative. Performance results for each project were approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on a 0 to 4 scale. These results were averaged, with each project weighted equally, to yield an overall score between 0 and 4 for each Strategic Initiative. Scores for the Strategic Initiatives were then averaged to yield an overall performance percentage for the Strategic Initiatives. A minimum rating of “1” was required to earn a 50% payout and a score of “4” would have yielded a payout of 200%.

In light of these performance results, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee approved payouts for named executive officer ACI Plan participants equal to 93% of their target awards.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

OVERVIEW

We grant equity-based long-term incentive (LTI) awards to our executives and other key employees pursuant to our Stock Incentive Plan. The equity component of our named executive officers' compensation emphasizes long-term shareholder value creation through performance-based restricted stock unit (PSU) and time-based restricted stock unit (RSU) awards.

PSU awards are a substantial, at-risk component of our named executive officers' compensation tied to the Company's long-term performance. RSU awards align the interests of executive officers with those of our customers and shareholders by promoting stability and retention of a high-performing executive team over the long term.

In 2025, we allocated 70% of our officers’ total LTI award opportunities to PSUs and 30% to RSUs.

Our 2025 LTI award program is consistent with our compensation guiding principles	Compensation Guiding Principles	PSUs	RSUs
	Retention
	Incentives to achieve specific Company objectives
	Alignment with shareholders
	Market-competitive pay

Looking Ahead

For PSU awards granted in 2026, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee updated the definitions of performance metrics to be calculated on a non-GAAP basis. Using non-GAAP metrics in the PSUs aligns with the performance metrics used by our peers, best practices, and the business performance measures used by management and provided to our shareholders.

2025 PSU Awards

Our 2025 PSU award incorporates the following financial, strategic and market-based performance measures.

RATIONALE FOR LTI AWARDS DESIGN

Metric	Measurement	Why We Use this Metric
EPS Growth	3-year average of the Company’s EPS growth rate, where EPS growth for a given fiscal year is defined as the percentage change in EPS over the previous fiscal year(1)	Provides a direct measure of the rate at which the Company has increased its profitability. EPS is a driver of shareholder value creation
Clean Energy and Capacity	Average megawatts of forecasted energy and capacity from carbon-free resources, Oregon Renewable Portfolios Standard-qualifying resources, and low-carbon emitting (i.e., > 95% carbon-free) systems of resources added to the Company’s energy supply portfolio during the performance period	Creates incentive to reduce carbon potential in the Company’s energy supply portfolio in support of our customers' and Oregon’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals
Relative TSR	TSR over the 3-year performance period relative to the TSR achieved by a comparison group of companies over the same period • The comparison group consists of peer companies approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee (ALLETE, Alliant Energy, Avista, Black Hills, Evergy, Hawaiian Electric, IDACORP, NiSource, NorthWestern, OGE Energy, Pinnacle West Capital and TXNM Energy), excluding those that have completed or announced a merger, acquisition, business combination, “going private” transaction, or liquidation. Companies that are in bankruptcy will be assigned a negative one TSR • TSR measures the change in a Company’s stock price for a given period, plus its dividends (or other earnings paid to investors) over the same period, as a percentage of the stock price at the beginning of the period • To calculate the value of stock at the beginning and end of the period, we use the average daily closing price for the 20-trading day period ending on the measurement date • Relative TSR is determined by ranking PGE and the comparison group companies from highest to lowest according to TSR. The percentile performance of PGE relative to the comparison group companies is determined based on this ranking	TSR is a direct measure of value creation for shareholders Use of relative rather than absolute TSR helps ensure that payouts reflect the Company’s relative performance rather than general market conditions

1.Targets for the 2025 LTI awards were set based on Diluted EPS (GAAP) but the LTI awards permit the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee to adjust results (non-GAAP) if it believes such adjustments are necessary to eliminate the impact of certain unusual items that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance.

2025 PSU AWARD METRICS AND PAYOUT CALCULATION

In the first quarter of 2028, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will determine the performance results for the 2025 PSU awards in accordance with the metrics and formula described in the table below, subject to any adjustments approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee pursuant to its authority under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Payout Metric(1)		Threshold (50% Payout)		Target (100% Payout)		Maximum (200% Payout)		Metric Weighting		Percentage of Target Shares Earned
EPS Growth		5.0%		6.0%		7.0%		33%		0% to 66.67%
Clean Energy and Capacity		350 MW		585 MW		700 MW		33%		0% to 66.67%
Relative TSR(2)		25th Percentile of Peer Group		50th Percentile of Peer Group		75th Percentile of Peer Group		33%		0% to 66.67%
				Total Percentage of Target PSU Award Earned:						0% to 200%

1.At the end of the performance period, performance results are interpolated between threshold, target and maximum payout levels to determine payout percentages for each goal based on the schedule above. Results below threshold for any goal result in zero payouts for that goal. These results are weighted equally and added to determine a payout percentage total.

2.For our 2025 PSU awards, the peer group for 2025 compensation was utilized as the comparator group for the Relative TSR metric.

2025 RSU Awards

Each of our executive officers was awarded RSUs representing 30% of their total LTI award opportunity. Each year, one-third of the RSUs granted will vest on February 14 (or the preceding trading day if February 14 falls on a weekend) and vesting requires that the award recipient be employed by the Company on the vesting date. However, if the officer’s employment is terminated due to retirement (which requires five years of service with the Company or an affiliate and a minimum age of 55), death, or disability before the normal vesting date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs will vest. RSUs granted in 2025 also vest in accordance with the Rule of 75, which is described below. See the discussion of the RSUs on page 75 in the section below entitled “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits.”

OTHER TERMS OF THE PSU AND RSU AWARDS

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Under the 2025 PSU and RSU awards, each named executive officer receives dividend equivalent rights (DERs) with respect to PSUs and RSUs that remain outstanding and unvested. When dividends are paid on PGE common stock, the value of the dividends on those units is converted into additional stock units based on the fair market value of PGE common stock on the dividend payment date. These additional units accumulate during the vesting period, are included in future dividend calculations, and are subject to the same vesting conditions as the related PSUs or RSUs. Any vested units attributable to DERs are settled in shares of common stock when the related PSUs or RSUs vest.

Service Requirement. Under our PSU award, vesting of the PSUs and their related DERs generally requires that the award recipient continue to be employed by the Company during the performance period. Under our RSU award, vesting of the RSUs and their related DERs generally requires that the award recipient continue to be employed by the Company through the vest date. However, if the officer’s employment concludes due to retirement, death, or disability before the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied, a ratable portion of the awards will vest and, in the case of PSUs, actual performance results applied. See the discussion on page 75 in the section below entitled “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits.” Recipients who satisfy the “Rule of 75” are eligible for vesting without proration of (i) their outstanding PSU awards based on performance results, and/or (ii) their outstanding RSU awards at time of termination. An individual satisfies the Rule of 75 if, on the date of his or her termination of employment, (i) the individual is at least age 55 and has no less than five years of service with the Company or its affiliates, and (ii) the individual’s age plus years of service equals at least 75.

2023-2025 PSU Award Payout

The payout under the PSU awards granted to our executive officers in 2023 was 88% of target, based on the following performance results:

1.As a result of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s adjustments, as permitted under the PSU award terms, EPS and ROE results reflect non-GAAP EPS and ROE following adjustments to the GAAP metrics to eliminate the impact of certain unusual items that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of GAAP EPS and GAAP ROE from the results shown here.

2.ALLETE, Inc., TXNM Energy, Inc., NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. and Black Hills Corporation have been excluded from the peer group due to going private, pending business acquisition and pending business combination as of December 31, 2025.

When determining final compensation with respect to the 2023-2025 PSU award payout, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee took into consideration unusual events that impacted financial metrics but were not reflective of management’s actual performance results in 2025. These one-time events were reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to EPS and ROE for 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, as allowed under the PSU award terms, determined that basing the results on non-GAAP EPS and non-GAAP ROE instead of GAAP EPS and GAAP ROE better aligns management’s actual performance for 2025 with the PSU award payout value. The PSU award payout value would have been 67% had the results included only GAAP EPS and GAAP ROE in the financial metrics. As a result of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s determination to make non-GAAP adjustments for unusual items that do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, the PSU award payout is 88%. See Appendix A for additional information.

These results yielded the award values set forth in the table below:

		Number of PSUs Vested(1)		Award Payout Value ($)(2)
Maria Pope		60,112		2,884,791

BENEFIT PLANS

Our named executive officers also participate in certain benefit plans, including: (1) health and welfare benefits and (2) retirement and savings benefits.

Health and Welfare Benefits

•Medical/Dental/Vision. Our executives are eligible to participate in our broad-based medical, dental and vision insurance programs. Non-union medical insurance is limited to high deductible health plans. For employees enrolled in our high deductible health plans, the Company also makes annual contributions to a health savings account.

•Wellness Program. All employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s wellness program, which offers a variety of benefits, including mental health benefits, financial counseling and the opportunity to earn Company health savings account contributions.

Retirement and Savings Benefits

•401(k) Plan. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan.

•Pension Plan. One named executive officer (Ms. Pope) participates in the Portland General Electric Company Pension Plan (Pension Plan). The Pension Plan was closed to new participants before our other named executive officers joined the Company. See page 73 of this Proxy Statement for a description of the basic benefit available to non-union employees under the Pension Plan.

•Deferred Compensation Benefits. Executives and other key employees are eligible to participate in our 2005 Management Deferred Compensation Plan, which permits participants to defer the payment of income as well as the value of a certain number of hours of paid time off, depending on the participant's paid time off program, but in no event may it exceed 160 hours of paid time off annually. Participants also earn interest on their account balances. See page 74 for details.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

Rationale for Providing Severance Pay Benefits. Our policy regarding severance protection for named executive officers stems from its importance in retaining and recruiting executives and mitigating legal issues upon an employment separation. Executives have attractive opportunities with other companies or are recruited from well-compensated positions in other companies. To provide our officers with financial security to offset the risk of leaving for another company, if the employment of an eligible officer with the Company is involuntarily terminated without cause or due to a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason,”) in either case absent a change in control, the Severance Pay Plan for Executive Employees (the "Severance Plan"), amended and restated as of March 14, 2023, provides for the following severance payments and benefits:

•1.5 times the annual base salary for our CEO and 1.0 times the annual base salary for non-CEO executives;

•a pro-rata portion of annual cash incentive award based on target performance and the period of the award year served; and

•a lump sum equal to 18 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our CEO and 12 months for all other eligible officers.

For purposes of the Severance Plan, a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason”) includes occurrences such as a material diminution in duties or salary, or a substantial relocation. Given that none of the named executive officers has an employment agreement that provides for fixed positions or duties, or for a fixed base salary or annual incentive award, we believe a constructive termination severance trigger is needed to continue to retain and attract executives. We do not provide excise tax gross-ups on change-in-control severance benefits for any of our executives. We do not believe named executive officers should be entitled to receive their cash severance benefits merely because a change-in-control transaction occurs. Therefore, the payment of cash severance benefits is subject to a double-trigger where an actual or constructive termination of employment must also occur before payment. Severance is always subject to the execution of a release of claims and adherence to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

Our Severance Plan also offers additional enhanced benefits if a change in control of the Company occurs and an eligible officer experiences a qualifying termination within 24 months following the change in control event. We believe the occurrence, or expected occurrence, of a change-in-control transaction would create uncertainty regarding continued employment for named executive officers. This uncertainty would result from the fact that many change-in-control transactions result in significant organizational changes, particularly at the senior executive level. To encourage the named executive officers to remain employed with the Company during a time when their prospects for continued employment following the change in control would be uncertain, and to permit them to remain focused on the Company’s interests, if the employment of an eligible officer with the Company is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or due to a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason”) in either case within a defined period of time after a change in control of the Company, the Severance Plan provides for the following severance payments and benefits:

•2.5 times the sum of annual base salary plus the target value of the executive’s annual cash incentive award for our CEO, 2.0 times for senior officers and 1.5 times for all other eligible officers;

•a pro-rata portion of annual cash incentive award based on target performance and the period of the award year served; and

•a lump sum equal to 30 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our CEO, 24 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our senior officers and 18 months for all other eligible officers.

For detailed information on the estimated potential payments and benefits payable to our named executive officers if they terminate employment, including following a change in control of the Company, see “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits” on page 75.

OTHER COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Risk Management

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee seeks to mitigate risk in our executive programs through the following policies and practices.

Our 2025 LTI plan includes the following risk mitigation features:

•Using multiple types of awards and performance measures, consisting of a financial performance measure (EPS growth), a strategic performance measure (clean energy and capacity), a market-based performance measure (relative total shareholder return) and a service-based measure (time-based restricted stock units)

•Measuring our total shareholder return against peer groups approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee

•Using multi-year performance periods to promote a longer-term performance horizon

•Limiting the maximum payout level for performance-based restricted stock unit awards to 200% of the target number of units (including reinvested dividend equivalents)

Our 2025 ACI Plan includes the following risk mitigation features:

•Limiting the payout at the maximum performance level to 200% of target

•Using a corporate financial performance measure that is based on the earnings reported in our financial statements, with certain adjustments that are limited and predefined and the potential for others related to unplanned or unforeseen items, all of which are made only after thoughtful consideration by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee

•Incorporating operational and strategic metrics, which are performance measures important to our business operations, in addition to the corporate financial performance measure

•Providing the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee with negative discretion over certain incentive plan payouts

Annual Independent Compensation Risk Assessment

In 2025, as in prior years, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee engaged FW Cook to perform a comprehensive risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices. The assessment covered executive and non-executive plan design and oversight, as well as other aspects of our compensation practices, as summarized below:

Equity Award Program	Cash Incentive Programs	Other Compensation Practices
• Equity grants • Payment timing and adjustments • Grant policies • Stock ownership guidelines and trading policies	• Pay mix • Performance metrics • Performance goals and payout curves • Payment timing and adjustments	• Incentive mix • Succession planning • Severance • Role of the Board of Directors

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The finding of the report was that our programs do not encourage excessive risk taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The report noted the following risk-mitigating features of our program, among others:

•Independent Board Oversight. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee oversees incentive pay programs. The CEO’s pay is set by all of the independent directors, acting as a group.

•Balanced Pay Elements. Our compensation program includes an appropriate balance in fixed and performance-conditioned pay, cash and equity, formulas and discretion, and short-term and long-term measurement periods.

•Robust Governance Policies. Policies are in place to mitigate compensation risk such as stock ownership guidelines, insider-trading prohibitions, and compensation clawbacks.

•Incentive Mix. Incentive awards cover multiple overlapping time frames, ranging from one-to-three years, dampening the impact of stock price and financial performance volatility in rewards. Multiple financial goals prevent an over-emphasis on any single metric.

•Risk-Adjusted Incentive Targets. Incentive award targets encourage improvements but not at levels that would encourage imprudent risk-taking.

Insider Trading Policy

Under our Insider Trading Policy adopted on March 14, 2006 and last amended in December 2024, our directors, officers and employees are prohibited from trading or engaging in any other transactions in the Company's securities or securities we do business with while aware of material non-public information. The policy also prohibits the Company from transacting in Company securities in violation of applicable securities laws or stock exchange listing standards. Furthermore, our officers and directors are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities during designated blackout periods, and must obtain pre-clearance to sell from the office of the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer for any transactions in the Company's securities. All of our officers, employees and directors are prohibited from trading in options, warrants, puts and calls, or similar instruments on Company securities, or selling Company securities “short.” In addition, employees and directors may not purchase any financial instrument, or enter into any transaction, that is designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of Company stock (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds). Directors, officers and employees are also prohibited from purchasing Company securities on margin or pledging or otherwise encumbering Company securities. These prohibitions apply to family members living in the same household as such officer, employee or director, as well as entities directly or indirectly controlled by the officer, employee or director.

A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to the 2025 Annual Report.

Stock Ownership Policy

The Company has adopted a stock ownership and holding policy for our executive officers. The primary objectives of the policy are to create financial incentives that align the interests of executive officers with strong operating and financial performance of the Company and encourage executive officers to operate the business of the Company with a long-term perspective. The guidelines set minimum levels of stock ownership for our officers to achieve and maintain. For executive officers, the guidelines are:

Executive Level		Stock Ownership Guidelines
Chief Executive Officer		6x base salary
Chief Financial Officer, Executive and Senior Vice Presidents		3x base salary
Vice Presidents		2x base salary

Based on FW Cook's review of competitive benchmark data, we believe our stock ownership guidelines are aligned to prevalent market practices.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The policy does not require executive officers to immediately acquire shares in an amount sufficient to meet the holding requirement. However, until the holding requirement is met, executive officers are subject to certain restrictions on their ability to dispose of shares of Company stock. The CEO is required to retain 100% of her shares acquired prior to February 2011. All executive officers are required to retain an amount of shares equal to 50% of their vested net after-tax equity awards until the holding requirement is met. The number of shares required to satisfy the stock ownership requirements is re-calculated annually, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the calculation.

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee also reviews each officer’s holdings annually to ensure that appropriate progress toward the ownership goal is being made. All of our executive officers either meet the stock ownership requirement or are on track to do so as required under the policy. Our stock ownership policy for non-employee directors is described on page 26 of this Proxy Statement.

Equity Grant Practices

Under the terms of our Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee is authorized to make grants of equity awards but may delegate this authority as it deems appropriate. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has delegated authority to our CEO to make annual discretionary grants of RSUs with performance-based or time-based vesting conditions to non-executive employees for the purposes of attracting and retaining qualified employees. For 2025, the maximum RSU value the CEO was authorized to award was $1,000,000 in the aggregate and $100,000 per award. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has not delegated the authority to grant awards to executive officers.

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee expects to continue to grant equity awards to executive officers and other key employees, and to delegate authority to our CEO to make limited discretionary equity awards for attraction and retention purposes to non-executives. We also expect to continue to make annual grants of restricted stock units with time-based vesting conditions to the Company’s directors.

The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has not adopted a formal policy governing the timing of equity awards. However, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has generally made awards to executive officers in the first quarter of the fiscal year and to directors in the third quarter, and expects to continue this practice.

Incentive Compensation Clawback and Cancellation Policy

The Company has adopted an Incentive Compensation Clawback and Cancellation Policy (Clawback Policy) administered by the independent members of the Board, which provides for the recoupment of incentive compensation if (1) the Company restates (as defined in the Clawback Policy) its financial statements and such recoupment is required under the NYSE listing standards or is otherwise determined appropriate by the independent directors, or (2) the independent directors determine that a current or former employee covered under the Clawback Policy has engaged in egregious misconduct resulting in actual or potential reputational or financial harm to the Company. The policy applies to current and former executive officers, participants in the Company’s ACI Plan, and recipients of awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (together, “Covered Employees”) as set forth below.

In the case of an accounting restatement, the Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery from any current or former executive officer of covered cash- and equity-based incentive compensation paid or earned based on the achievement of financial performance measures in excess of the amounts that would have been paid or earned based on the restated financial results, unless such recovery is impracticable (as defined in the Clawback Policy). The independent directors have discretion to apply these recoupment provisions more broadly than required under the Clawback policy, including to any current or former Covered Employee.

In the case of egregious misconduct (as defined in the Clawback Policy), the Clawback Policy permits the recoupment from a Covered Employee of cash- and equity-based incentive compensation if such compensation is earned by or awarded to such Covered Employee during the three years preceding the date on which the Company discovers such misconduct. The independent directors have sole discretion in determining whether a Covered Employee has engaged in egregious misconduct and also may authorize the cancellation or forfeiture of unpaid or unvested incentive compensation.

Under the Clawback Policy, the independent directors have sole discretion to determine the method for recouping or canceling incentive compensation. A copy of the Clawback Policy is filed as Exhibit 97.1 to the 2025 Annual Report.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Impacts of Regulatory Requirements

Tax Deductibility of Compensation Expense. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation a publicly held company can deduct in any tax year on compensation paid to “covered employees.” Prior to the passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, performance-based compensation paid to our “covered employees,” such as annual cash incentives and performance-based RSUs, was generally excluded from this $1 million deduction limit. As a result of changes in the tax law, this previously-available exclusion for performance-based compensation is generally no longer available after 2017. While the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers tax deductibility as one of many factors in determining executive compensation, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not tax deductible by the Company and may modify compensation that was initially intended to be tax deductible if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the Company’s business needs. Thus, a majority of the amounts payable under our executive compensation arrangements will not be tax deductible or, if initially intended to be tax deductible, may not actually receive this treatment.

Other Tax, Accounting and Regulatory Considerations. Many other Internal Revenue Code provisions, SEC regulations and accounting rules affect the design of executive pay. They are taken into consideration to create and maintain plans that are intended to comply with these requirements and that our Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee believes are effective and in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

1.Amounts in the Salary column include base salary earned, including paid time off taken, and, where applicable, the value of paid time off deferred under the 2005 MDCP.

2.Amounts shown in the Bonus column for 2023 for Mr. Trpik and Mr. Felton represent sign-on bonuses paid in 2023. Amount shown in the Bonus column for 2025 for Mr. Wyspianski represents a sign-on bonus paid in 2025.

3.Amounts shown in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of PSU and RSU awards, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. The grant date fair values reported above will likely vary from the actual amount realized by the named executive officer based on a number of factors, including the number of RSUs and PSUs that ultimately vest and the closing market price of our common stock on the vesting date. For RSUs, we calculate grant date fair value by multiplying the number of shares underlying the award by the NYSE closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date. For PSUs, we calculate grant date fair value by assuming the satisfaction of performance-based goals at the “target” level for all metrics other than TSR and multiplying the corresponding number of shares earned by the NYSE closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date. For the TSR portion of the PSUs, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report for additional details regarding the assumptions made in the valuations reflected in this column.

PENSION BENEFITS

The following table shows the actuarial present value of Ms. Pope’s accumulated benefit under the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2025. The Pension Plan was closed to new participants before Mr. Trpik, Mr. Felton, Mr. Wyspianski and Ms. Espinosa joined the Company.

Name		Plan Name		Number of Years Credited Service		Present Value of Accumulated Benefit
Maria Pope		Pension Plan		17		$855,871

Participants in the Pension Plan earn benefits under the plan during each year of employment. Participants are vested in plan benefits after 5 years of service. Normal retirement age under the plan is 65. An early retirement benefit is available to participants after age 55, but benefits are reduced for each year prior to the participant's normal retirement date, using early retirement factors and based on the benefit formula described below. Ms. Pope qualified for early retirement as of December 31, 2022.

For non-union plan participants, the basic monthly pension benefit is based on Final Average Earnings (FAE), defined as the highest consecutive 60 months of earnings (base pay paid, excluding reductions due to income deferrals) during the last 120 months of employment.

The basic pension benefit under the plan is calculated as follows:

Monthly Benefit = 1.2% of FAE for first 30 years of service + 0.5% of FAE in excess of 30-Year Average of Social Security Taxable Wage Base + 0.5% of FAE for each year of service over 30 years

The normal form of payment for a participant who does not have a spouse is a straight life annuity, which makes periodic payments to the participant until his or her death. The normal form of payment if the participant has a spouse is a contingent annuity, which makes full payments for the life of the participant and thereafter 50% of the full payments until the death of the spouse if he or she survives the participant.

Pension Plan calculations are based on assumptions that are reviewed annually with the Company’s actuaries. The benefit calculation shown in the table above assumes normal retirement at age 65 (or current age if later), a discount rate of 5.56% and mortality assumptions based on the Generational Annuitant Mortality (PRI-2012 with white collar adjustment and MP2021 projection with 0% improvement in 2020-2023 and convergence to SSA smoothed long-term rates). These assumptions are the same ones used for financial reporting purposes.

The 2005 MDCP provides a benefit to compensate participants for Pension Plan benefits that are lower due to salary deferrals under the 2005 MDCP. These deferrals reduce a participant’s Final Average Earnings, on which Pension Plan benefits are based. The present value of the reduction in Pension Plan benefits due to salary deferrals is calculated as a lump sum upon termination of employment and added to the participant’s deferred compensation plan account balance. The aggregate present value of this benefit is reflected in the Pension Benefits table above.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Our 2005 Management Deferred Compensation Plan (2005 MDCP) allows executives and a select group of management and highly compensated employees to elect on a year-by-year basis to defer the receipt of up to 80% of their base salary and 100% of their cash incentive compensation for payment in installments or in a lump sum future date in connection with a separation of employment. Additionally, a participant can elect to defer PTO. In 2025, the maximum number of hours of PTO that a participant may defer annually is the lesser of (i) 160 or (ii) total projected PTO hours for the year less 152. The following table shows the named executive officers’ contributions and earnings in 2025 and balances as of December 31, 2025 under the 2005 MDCP. The accompanying narrative describes key provisions of the plan.

Name		Plan		Executive Contributions in 2025 ($)(1)				Company Contributions in 2025 ($)(2)				Aggregate Earnings in 2025 ($)				Aggregate Balance at 12/31/2025 ($)(3)
Maria Pope		2005 MDCP			312,639				3,312				147,661				2,591,550

Angelica Espinosa		2005 MDCP			150,728				3,277				42,219				786,540

1.Amounts in this column include salary and paid-time-off deferrals that are reflected in the Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table, as well as cash incentive award deferrals for 2024 deferred in 2025 that are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

2.Amounts in this column include a Company matching contribution of 3% of annual base salary deferred under the applicable plan. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table under “All Other Compensation.”

3.Amounts included in this column were reported as compensation to our named executive officer in the Company’s Summary Compensation Table for previous years.

For 2025, participants could also contribute cash payments in lieu of up to 160 hours of canceled paid time off. The Company provides a 3% matching contribution on employee base salary deferrals. Deferral elections must be made no later than December 31 of the taxable year preceding the year in which the compensation is earned. Amounts deferred under the 2005 MDCP accrue interest that is 0.5% higher than the annual yield on Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Yield Index. Interest rates are established in the plan document, which is administered by a management-level committee.

Payments are triggered by termination of employment, beginning no earlier than six months after separation from service; a participant’s account balance during the six-month delay continues to accrue interest. Under both plans, benefits are paid in one of the following forms, as elected by the participant in a payment election form filed each year for the following year’s deferrals: (i) a lump-sum payment or (ii) monthly installments in equal payments of principal and interest over a period of up to 180 months. If a Participant Separates from Service upon or after attaining the age of 55, payment of any restoration of Pension Plan benefits, if eligible, shall be made in monthly installment payments in substantially equal payments of principal and Interest over a period of one hundred twenty (120) months, or in a lump sum if the participant is under 55 years of age or if the restoration amount is $10,000 or less.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS AND RIGHTS ON TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS

The following plans provide benefits that may become payable to named executive officers, depending on the circumstances surrounding their termination of employment with the Company. When listing the potential payments to the named executive officers under the plans described below, it is assumed that the applicable triggering event (retirement or other termination of employment) occurred on December 31, 2025 and the price per share of the Company common stock is equal to the closing price as of the last NYSE trading day in 2025.

Executive Severance Plan

The Company provides severance benefits and change-in-control benefits to executives, including all named executive officers, under its Severance Plan. In addition, severance benefits are provided through other plans or agreements included in the following description of severance benefits.

To receive any severance benefits, named executive officers must release the Company and its affiliates from all claims arising out of the officer’s employment relationship and agree to certain confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement restrictions in favor of the Company and its affiliates.

Severance Benefits - No Change in Control

Under the Company’s Severance Plan, executives of the Company are eligible for severance pay if they are terminated without cause, or if they voluntarily terminate employment for good reason and within 90 days following the event that constitutes good reason. Those benefits include:

•A cash lump sum payment equal to 1 times annual base salary, for non-CEO named executive officers, and 1.5 times annual base salary for the CEO;

•An amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to termination based on the target level of performance and the period of the named executive officer's service during the award year (unless the named executive officer is retirement eligible); and

•A lump sum payment in an amount equal to 12 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for non-CEO named executive officers and 18 months for CEO (if named executive officer is eligible for and timely elects COBRA coverage).

Severance Benefits - Change in Control

Under the Company's Severance Plan, executives of the Company are eligible for severance pay if they are terminated within 24 months after a change in control event. Those benefits include:

•A cash lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times, for Mr. Wyspianski, 2 times, for Mr. Trpik, Mr. Felton and Ms. Espinosa, and 2.5 times, in the case of Ms. Pope, of the sum total of (i) annual base salary at the highest rate in effect during the preceding 24 months, and (ii) the target annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to the start of the 24 month period;

•An amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to termination based on the target level of performance and the period of the named executive officer's service during the award year (unless the named executive officer is retirement eligible); and

•A lump sum amount equal to 18 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for Mr. Wyspianski, 24 months for Mr. Trpik, Mr. Felton and Ms. Espinosa, and 30 months for Ms. Pope (if the named executive officer is eligible for and timely elects COBRA coverage).

For purposes of the plan, the terms “change in control,” “cause,” and “good reason” have the following meanings:

“Change in control” means any of the following:

•A person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of Company securities representing more than 30% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

•During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of the period (the Incumbent Board) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such two year period, whose election to the Board of Directors or nomination for election to the Board of Directors by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs in connection with or as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents;

•There occurs a consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding immediately thereafter securities representing, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or other surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

•The shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

A Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if holders of common stock of the Company continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as a result of a transaction or a series of integrated transactions.

“Good reason” means the occurrence of any of the following conditions:

•A material adverse change in the nature of the executive’s duties or responsibilities (for avoidance of doubt, ceasing to be the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer or Chief Human Resources Officer of a public company shall constitute a material adverse change);

•A material reduction in the executive’s base compensation or short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities; or

•A mandatory relocation of the executive’s principal place of work in excess of 50 miles.

“Cause” in the case of a termination that occurs within two years of a change in control is defined as:

•The substantial and continuing failure of the executive to perform substantially all of his or her duties to the Company (other than a failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after 30 days' notice from the Company;

•The material breach of law or written Company policy, applicable to the executive, including, but not limited to the Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, that could result in significant reputation or financial harm to the Company;

•Dishonesty, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty;

•The commission of an act of fraud or embezzlement, as found by a court of competent jurisdiction;

•A material breach of the terms of an agreement with the Company, provided that the Company provides the executive with adequate notice of the breach and the executive fails to cure the breach within 30 days after receipt of notice; or

Equity and Payment Acceleration in Change in Control, Death, Disability or Retirement and the "Rule of 75" Vesting in Event of Change in Control

Stock Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of a change in control of the Company, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may accelerate distribution of stock awards, provide payment to the participant of cash or other property equal to the fair market value of the award, adjust the terms of the award, cause the award to be assumed, or make such other adjustments to awards as the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers equitable to the participant and also in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

PSU Awards. PSU awards for executives provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the executive’s termination following a change in control. Under the terms of the grant agreements, any PSUs that have not previously vested will vest automatically at the target level of performance as of the date of termination within two years following a change in control: (i) when the grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any successor entity without cause, or (ii) if the grantee voluntarily terminates employment for good reason within 90 days after the event constituting good reason. For purposes of the PSU awards, the terms “change in control,” “cause” and “good reason” have the same definitions as those described above under the heading “Severance Benefits- Change in Control.” The number of dividend equivalent rights would be determined in accordance with the terms of the awards, calculated as if the date of termination were the end of the performance period.

Vesting of PSUs and RSUs and Payment of ACI in Event of Death, Disability or Retirement

PSU and RSU Awards. Our PSU and RSU award agreements with the named executive officers provide for vesting of the performance RSUs in the event an officer’s employment is terminated due to the officer’s death, disability or retirement (as defined under our Pension Plan, which requires five years of service and a minimum age of 55). In the case of PSUs, the number of units that vest is determined by multiplying the performance percentage by the number of PSUs originally granted and by the percentage of the performance period that the officer was actively employed. In the case of RSUs, the number of units that vest is determined by multiplying the number of RSUs originally granted by the percentage of the vesting period that the officer was employed.

ACI Payments. Under the terms of the ACI Plan, if a participant’s employment terminates due to death, disability or retirement, the Company will pay an award to the participant or the participant’s estate, as applicable, if and when awards are payable generally to other participants under the plan. The amount of the award will be prorated to reflect the number of full and partial months during the year in which the participant was employed. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee can use discretion to increase or decrease awards including counting prior years' industry service towards the calculation. For the purposes of this provision, “retirement” means a participant’s termination of employment after meeting the requirements for retirement under the Pension Plan (currently age 55 with five years of service).

Vesting of PSUs and RSUs Based on “Rule of 75”

Beginning with our 2020 awards, our PSU and RSU grant agreements provide that, if a grantee satisfies the “Rule of 75” upon termination of employment for reasons other than cause, then (i) in the case of RSU awards, all unvested RSUs under the award will vest, and (ii) in the case of PSU awards, the grantee will be eligible for full vesting, based on performance results, notwithstanding early termination. For purposes of these provisions, a recipient satisfies the Rule of 75 if the recipient has no less than 5 years of service and the recipient’s age plus years of service is at least 75.

Outplacement Assistance Plan

The Company maintains the Portland General Electric Company Outplacement Assistance Plan to cover the cost of outplacement assistance for certain employees who lose their jobs as a result of corporate, departmental or work group reorganization, including the elimination of a position or similar business circumstances. Eligible management employees, including the named executive officers, are offered the services of an outside outplacement consultant for three to twelve months, with the exact length of the services determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

In accordance with SEC rules, we are disclosing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the individual we have identified as our median employee for this purpose.

We identified our median employee by examining 2025 taxable earnings, as reported on W-2 forms (W-2 taxable earnings), for all individuals who were employed by the Company on December 31, 2025, other than our CEO. We believe that the use of W-2 taxable earnings, which is a broad and widely used measure of annual compensation, is an appropriate measure by which to determine the median employee. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time or seasonal basis, and we did not annualize the compensation of any full-time employee who was employed for less than the full 2025 calendar year.

After identifying the median employee based on 2025 W-2 taxable earnings, we calculated annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology that we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the Total column in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table. As measured using that methodology, our CEO’s annual total compensation for 2025 was $7,583,877 and our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 was $169,494. As a result, our 2025 CEO to median employee pay ratio was approximately 45:1.

Pay Versus Performance Disclosure

The financial and non-financial performance measures listed below represent the most important metrics we used to link compensation actually paid for 2025 for our CEO and other named executives (as further described in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A)).

Performance Metrics Selected	Relationship to Pay
Net Income	Annual cash incentive plan(1)
Earnings per share	Long-term incentive plan(2)
Earnings per share growth	Long-term incentive plan(2)
Return on equity as a percentage of allowed return on equity	Long-term incentive plan
Decarbonization	Long-term incentive plan

1.As discussed above under "2025 ACI Plan Performance Results," for 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee made certain adjustments to Net Income, such that the payouts under the 2025 ACI Plan were reflective of non-GAAP Net Income results. For a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income from non-GAAP Net Income, refer to Appendix A to this proxy statement.

2.Under the pay versus performance rules, we are required to select a single-year financial performance measure as our Company Selected Measure for the most recently completed fiscal year. Therefore, we selected Earnings per Share (EPS) because we use EPS growth, a multi-year period metric, as a financial performance measure in our long-term incentive plan, and EPS growth is derived from EPS. As discussed above under "2023-2025 PSU Award Payout," the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee made certain adjustments to EPS, such that the payouts under the PSUs granted in 2023 were reflective of non-GAAP EPS results. For a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS, refer to Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Item 3: Ratification of the Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP

Our Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit and Risk Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026. The Company is asking shareholders to ratify this appointment.

Deloitte is an international accounting firm which provides leadership in public utility accounting matters. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2004. Deloitte has unique experience in auditing the financial books and records of regulated utilities.

The Audit and Risk Committee and the Board believe that the retention of Deloitte to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Although ratification is not required by law or under our bylaws or other corporate governance documents, the Board is submitting the appointment of Deloitte to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on this matter and as a matter of good corporate governance. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment, this will be considered a recommendation to the Board and the Audit and Risk Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit and Risk Committee may, in its discretion, select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at our 2026 Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

What are you
voting on?

We are asking shareholders to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as our independent auditor.

"FOR"

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit and Risk Committee Matters

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit and Risk Committee is composed of the directors named below and operates under the charter adopted by the Board, posted on the Company's website at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance. The Board has determined that each Audit and Risk Committee member is independent and financially literate, and that at least one member has accounting or other related financial management expertise, as such qualifications are defined in the NYSE rules, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and/or the Audit and Risk Committee's charter. The Board has also determined that Mr. Torgerson and Mr. O'Leary, members of the committee, qualify as "audit committee financial experts" as defined by SEC rules.

The Audit and Risk Committee’s primary responsibilities are to assist the Board with oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and system of internal controls, the independent auditor’s performance, qualifications and independence, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, the effectiveness of the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management program, and the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Management is responsible for the internal controls and the financial reporting processes, including the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and expressing an opinion as to the conformity of the Company’s financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.

In performing its oversight role, the Audit and Risk Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with each of management and the independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte). The Audit and Risk Committee has discussed with Deloitte significant accounting policies that the Company applies in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments and critical audit matters addressed during the audit. We have further discussed with Deloitte the matters required to be discussed under applicable PCAOB standards. We have received from Deloitte the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable PCAOB rules regarding Deloitte’s independence, discussed with Deloitte its independence, and considered whether the non-audit services provided by Deloitte are compatible with maintaining its independence.

The Audit and Risk Committee also has reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and management’s reports on the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. Management has confirmed to the Committee that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and that management has maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte has expressed its professional opinions that the financial statements conform with generally accepted accounting principles and that management has maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed with the Audit and Risk Committee the certifications that each will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the policies and procedures management has adopted to support the certifications.

Based on these considerations, the Audit and Risk Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit and Risk Committee Matters

SELECTION OF AUDITOR

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the appointment, replacement, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor, including the terms of the engagement. The independent auditor reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee. At each Audit and Risk Committee meeting, the independent auditor meets separately with the Audit and Risk Committee, without management present.

The Audit and Risk Committee annually considers whether Deloitte should be reappointed for another year. The Audit and Risk Committee considered several factors when determining whether to reappoint Deloitte as the Company's Independent auditor including:

•Deloitte’s professional qualifications and reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing;

•Qualifications of the lead audit partner and other key audit engagement members;

•Deloitte’s current and historical performance on the Company’s audits, including the extent and quality of its communications with the Audit and Risk Committee and the Company’s management and internal audit department;

•Depth of Deloitte’s knowledge of the Company’s business, internal controls, and accounting practices;

•The nature and extent of Deloitte’s non-audit services;

•Analysis of Deloitte’s known legal risks and significant proceedings that could impair its ability to perform the Company’s annual audit;

•Appropriateness of Deloitte’s audit fees;

•Deloitte’s tenure as the Company’s independent auditor; and

•The potential impact of seeking another accounting firm with comparable professional qualifications and industry expertise.

The lead engagement partner is required to rotate off the Company’s audit at least every five years. In connection with the mandated rotation of Deloitte’s lead engagement partner effective in 2022, the Company and select members of the Audit and Risk Committee performed a rigorous interview process based on professional, industry and personal criteria. As a result of this process, the Audit and Risk Committee Chair then selected the lead engagement partner taking into account management’s recommendation.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY FOR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR SERVICES

The Board has adopted a policy for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditor. Each year, the Audit and Risk Committee approves the terms on which the independent auditor is engaged for the ensuing fiscal year. All requests for audit, audit-related and tax and other services that are not on the pre-approved list of specified services must be approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. Management and the independent auditors are required to report at least quarterly to the Audit and Risk Committee regarding the services provided, and fees paid for such services, compared to the services and fees that were pre-approved in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The Audit and Risk Committee is authorized under the pre-approval policy to delegate its pre-approval authority to a member of the committee.

All audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors during 2024 and 2025 were pre-approved by the Audit and Risk Committee.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why did I receive these proxy materials?

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by PGE’s Board of Directors for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and for any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. This Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy statement and a proxy or voting instruction card are being mailed or made available to shareholders starting on or about March 13, 2026.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail instead of printed copies of the proxy materials?

Making the proxy materials available to shareholders via the Internet saves us the cost of printing and mailing documents and will reduce the impact of the Annual Meeting on the environment. If you received only a Notice of Internet Availability, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request it. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials at no charge. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials on the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis by following the instructions on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability.

Why did some shareholders receive printed or email copies of the proxy materials?

We are distributing printed copies of the proxy materials to shareholders who have previously requested printed copies. We are providing shareholders who have previously requested electronic delivery of proxy materials with an email containing a link to the website where the materials are available via the internet.

Additional Information

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

The Company has adopted the “householding” procedure approved by the SEC, which allows us to deliver one set of documents to a household of shareholders instead of delivering a set to each shareholder in a household, unless we have been instructed otherwise. This procedure is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective because it reduces the number of copies to be printed and mailed. Shareholders who receive proxy materials in paper form will continue to receive separate proxy cards to vote their shares. If you would like to change your householding election, request that a single copy of the proxy materials be sent to your address, or request a separate copy of the proxy materials, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., by calling (866) 540-7095 or by writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. We will promptly deliver the proxy materials to you upon receipt of your request. If you hold your shares in street name, please contact your bank, broker, or other record holder to request information about householding.

How can I access the proxy materials online?

This Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement, as well as our 2025 Annual Report, are available on our website at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/financial-information/annual-reports.

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026.

If I am the beneficial owner of shares held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?

NYSE rules applicable to broker-dealers grant your broker discretionary authority to vote your shares without receiving your instructions on certain routine matters. Your broker has discretionary authority under the NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, unless you provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors and the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As a result, we strongly encourage you to submit your proxy and exercise your right to vote as a shareholder.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are unaware of any matters, other than those set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of shareholders, that may properly be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the meeting to another time or place, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card, or their duly constituted substitutes, will be deemed authorized to vote those shares for which proxies have been given or otherwise act on such matters in accordance with their judgment.

How can I change or revoke my vote?

If you hold shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before voting begins by:

•Notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing that you are revoking your proxy;

•Delivering another duly signed proxy that is dated after the proxy you wish to revoke, or delivering a later-dated vote by telephone or on the internet; or

•Attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting. (Attendance at the meeting, in and of itself, will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.)

Any written notice of revocation, or later dated proxy, should be delivered to:

Portland General Electric Company

Attention: Corporate Secretary

121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301

Portland, Oregon 97204

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and wish to change your vote with respect to those shares, please check with your broker, bank or other nominee and follow the procedures your broker, bank or other nominee provides you.

Additional Information

What are the voting requirements to elect directors and approve the other proposals described in the proxy statement?

The vote required to approve each of the matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting is set forth below:

Proposal	Vote Required
Election to our Board of Directors of the nine nominees named in this Proxy Statement	Votes in Favor Exceed Votes Against
Advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers	Votes in Favor Exceed Votes Against
Ratification of appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP	Votes in Favor Exceed Votes Against

What is the “quorum” for the Annual Meeting and what happens if a quorum is not present?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter as of February 23, 2026 is required to constitute a “quorum” for that matter. The existence of a quorum is necessary in order to take action on the matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If you vote online or by telephone, or submit a properly executed proxy card, your shares will be included for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Proxies marked “abstain” and “broker non-votes” (each of which are explained below) also will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. If the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting are not sufficient to constitute a quorum, the chair of the meeting, or the shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy, may, without further notice to any shareholder (unless a new record date is set), adjourn the meeting to a different time and place to permit further solicitations of proxies sufficient to constitute a quorum.

What is an “abstention” and how would it affect the vote?

An “abstention” occurs when a shareholder sends in a proxy with explicit instructions to decline to vote regarding a particular matter. Abstentions are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. However, an abstention with respect to a matter submitted to a vote of shareholders will not be counted for or against the matter. Consequently, an abstention with respect to any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting will not affect the outcome of the vote.

What is a “broker non-vote” and how would it affect the vote?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee who holds shares for another person does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for the proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Brokers will have discretionary voting power to vote shares for which no voting instructions have been provided by the beneficial owner with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, but not with respect to the other proposals. Accordingly, there might be broker non-votes with respect to the election of directors and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. A broker non-vote will not be counted for or against the matter and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote with respect to any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting.

Who will conduct the proxy solicitation and how much will it cost?

The Company is soliciting your proxy for the Annual Meeting and will pay all the costs of the proxy solicitation process. Our directors, officers and employees may communicate with shareholders by telephone, facsimile, email or personal contact to solicit proxies. These individuals will not be specifically compensated for doing so. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of PGE common stock.

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROE. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities, are infrequent in nature, or both. PGE believes that excluding the effects of these items provides an alternative measure of the Company’s comparative earnings per share and enables investors, management and the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee to evaluate the Company’s operating financial performance trends, exclusive of items that are not normally associated with ongoing operations. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee and Management use non-GAAP measures to assess the Company’s current performance and for communications with shareholders, analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Unusual items in the periods presented, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following:

•Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs;

•Non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs resulting from the January 2024 winter storm; and

•Boardman revenue requirement settlement charge associated with the year ended 2020, resulting from the OPUC's 2022 GRC Final Order.

PGE’s reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are below.

Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2025

(Dollars in millions, except EPS)	Net Income	Diluted EPS

(1) Tax effects were determined based on the Company’s full-year blended federal and state statutory rate.

Return on Equity (ROE) is the average of each of three consecutive years' Accounting ROE as a percentage of Allowed ROE. "Accounting ROE" is defined as annual net income, as shown on the Company’s income statement, divided by the average of the current and prior year’s shareholders’ equity, as shown on the balance sheet. "Allowed ROE" is the return on equity that the OPUC permits the Company to include in the rates it charges its customers. Adjusted ROE (non-GAAP ROE) is ROE calculated on the basis of non-GAAP Net Income (as shown above) instead of GAAP Net Income.
