PGE and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are restoring fish passage on the Deschutes River. For the first time in 40 years, salmon and steelhead will migrate to the Metolius, Crooked River and upper Deschutes rivers.

Through a unique partnership, PGE and the Tribes (co-owners of the Pelton Round Butte Hydro Project) have constructed a 273-foot underwater tower and fish collection facility. The project not only restores passage and habitat for the fish, it supports the local economy by providing greater recreation opportunities, fish harvest for the Tribes and a source of electricity certified as green energy.
