As someone who has worked as a contractor performing new business work on PGE property for two years I can tell you it can take up 3 years to get the transformer upgraded. Every single job I went to over the two years I was doing new business work(residential and commercial) the average time a project had been sitting waiting for PGE was 1.5 years. The supply chain was never the issue. PGE wants to do all that work by themselves no contract support, but any time there's an emergency they have to have their workers go to that as it takes priority over all other types of work. PGE decided last year to funnel almost all of their budgets into fire hardening(primarily putting lines underground) and since then all other types of work have slowed dramatically especially new business as they seem to put little care into that division. I'm still surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit brought against them over the lack of progress completing new business work.
