Our Locations

IBERDROLA RENEWABLES operates in various North American locations. Key locations include: Portland and Klamath Falls in Oregon; Houston, Texas; and Calgary, Alberta. We also have plant operations in various states and provinces, as well as smaller office locations.

About Portland, Oregon
The North American headquarters for IBERDROLA RENEWABLES is in Portland, a mid-sized urban enclave at the confluence of two rivers (the Columbia and Willamette), ringed by foothills and snow-capped mountains.

The city is given to a mix of Left Coast politics and conservative values. Eclectic is a frequent descriptor. Portlanders live a "green" lifestyle and are proud of it. A perennial pioneer, Oregon introduced the nation's first bottle bill in 1971. Efforts to recycle, reuse and reduce didn't stop there, either. Portlanders recycle more than half of their waste. More than 5,000 workers commute on bikes daily, and many more take advantage of light rail or buses and a downtown "fareless square" zone where travelers can ride for free.

A smorgasbord of industries pepper the area, with high tech, health care, insurance, energy and sportswear long since overtaking the old-line natural resource economy. Renewable industries, too, are well represented here. In addition to us, turbine manufacturers; industry-focused environmental, engineering and legal consultants; and wind-related construction companies all have facilities here. A Germany's solar company is investing nearly $400 million in a solar-cell and wafer plant in a neighboring community, and various bio-fuels concerns have expressed interest in locating here as well.

Portland lives up to its popular reputation for rainy yet mild winters, and dry but not overly warm or humid summers. Great freeway access and one of the most advanced transit systems in the country make it easy to get around, as does an extensive network of urban bike trails. A couple hours drive-depending on which direction you choose-takes you to ski slopes, high desert or the Pacific Ocean.

Sports of all stripes-for spectators and participants-abound. As do world-class microbreweries and wineries and omnipresent coffee houses serving up megawatts of espresso. A robust live-music scene and dozens of visual arts venues-many of which participate in monthly open gallery nights-add to the cultural vibe. So do public gardens and miles of urban hiking trails. And lots of bookstores and libraries.

About Klamath Falls, Oregon
Proudly declaring itself the "City of Sunshine," Klamath Falls (pop. 19,000) is a working class town born of farming, fishing and timber among the wetlands and woodlands of the Klamath Basin.

The basin is home to seven National Wildlife Refuges and stopover for millions of migrating birds navigating the Pacific Flyway. Small wonder the city seal for Klamath Falls includes the outstretched wings of a pelican. Spectacular Crater Lake National Park is only an hour's drive, as is all manner of hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing and biking. For its size, Klamath Falls itself hosts a respectable assortment of museums, antique shops and galleries.

Expect our Klamath Cogeneration Plant to be well known among locals. Construction of Klamath Cogeneration was a huge milestone for the community. Every nuance of this "hometown power plant" was openly shared when the the City of Klamath Falls used to own the facility.

About Houston, Texas
Houston is about as Texas as Texas gets. IBERDROLA RENEWABLES and its ENSTOR gas storage business leverage this longhorn location both for its role as a traditional petroleum industry hub and for Texas' newer status as the No. 1 wind energy generating state in the union.

Cowboys of all stripes—pioneering heart-transplant surgeons, petroleum lords, and space cowboys that literally shoot for the moon—call the nation's fourth-largest city (pop. 2 million) home. Spring and fall yield enviable top-down weather. Summer is hot and humid in the extreme should you somehow slip outside the protective and omnipresent veil of air conditioning. Home to Mission Control at the NASA Space Center, Houston was the first to hear when the Eagle landed on the Moon. This east Texas titan also is a proven leader in the medical world, particularly for heart transplants and cancer treatment.

About Calgary, Canada
Canada's newest city boasts a vibrant nightlife with the pristine wilderness and grandeur of the Canadian Rockies only an hour's drive away. Established in 1875 as a Northwest Mounted Police post, it is now a cosmopolitan city that more than a million people call home.

Calgary's economy, initially built on cattle ranching on the lush prairie lands, diversified over the years into the oil business and now, many national companies are headquartered there. With its many verdant, green parks, Calgary still has the small-town atmosphere while offering all the infrastructure and attractions you'd get in a modern metropolis. Home to the famous Calgary Stampede, an annual rodeo-style festival with western roots, Calgary offers activities to suit every taste. There's everything from a thriving dining and arts culture to world-class skiing (a legacy of the 1988 winter Olympics) and even dinosaur exploration.
