Portland General Electric faces scrutiny over data center costs as Oregon POWER Act hits its first big test

Portland General Electric faces scrutiny over data center costs as Oregon POWER Act hits its first big test

Oregon utility watchdogs say Portland General Electric’s proposed “Peak Growth Modifier” could shift long-term grid upgrade costs from data centers to households, despite the state’s new POWER Act.

  • Occidental Petroleum Stock Outlook: Can It Hit $80 by 2030?
    May 20, 2026, 11:52 AM EDT. Occidental Petroleum (OXY) shares have surged 48.34% year-to-date, buoyed by $5.8 billion debt reduction, an 8% dividend hike, and strategic moves including the OxyChem sale to Berkshire Hathaway. Yet, free cash flow dipped to $4.1 billion in 2025 from $6.1 billion in 2023, turning negative in Q1 2026 amid heavy capital expenditure. Analysts project a cautious 6% upside with an average target of $64.33, while models suggest a downside to $47.85. Achieving $80 by 2030 requires a 31.8% increase and significant earnings multiple expansion, relying on sustained cash flow growth, cost reductions, and stable or rising crude prices. Risks stem from commodity price volatility, particularly if WTI crude falls below $60 per barrel.
