Portland Cooling Project Ahead Of Schedule
(Portland, OR) -- The City of Portland says it's met its goal of installing 15-thousand heat pump units 18 months ahead of schedule. The program started following the deadly 2021 heat dome. The heat pumps are installed in homes and apartments of low-income Portlanders who are most vulnerable to extreme heat. The units are paid for from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund. The new goal is to install 10-thousand units by 2026.
