EasyStreet Honored at PGE Event, Featured in Wind Power TV Spot

Beaverton, Ore. — August 16, 2007 — EasyStreet Online Services, Inc. was one of several local organizations honored at Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Road To Biglow event held on Friday, August 3 in downtown Portland. EasyStreet was invited to a special recognition luncheon and presented with a commemorative plaque by PGE President and CEO, Peggy Fowler, for the company’s commitment to PGE’s Renewable Power Program.


As part of the event, PGE also encouraged residential and business Clean Wind customers to sign a 155-foot-long wind turbine blade temporarily parked in front of the utility’s corporate offices in downtown Portland. This unique surface was signed by EasyStreet President and CEO Rich Bader, VP of Customer Services, John Beaston, Corporate Account Manager and leader of EasyStreet’s “Green Team,” Lorraine Bessmer and Marketing Communications Manager, Karen Karger. The graffiti-embellished blade will be incorporated into PGE’s new Biglow Canyon Wind Farm, located about 140 miles east of Portland in Sherman county.

As announced in an earlier release, EasyStreet has committed to buy PGE Clean Wind power for roughly half of the company’s Data Center energy needs. This commitment makes EasyStreet a Gold-level PGE Clean Wind Partner. EasyStreet offers a Renewable Power Option for its managed server and colocation customers who house their servers in EasyStreet’s Data Center. In addition, EasyStreet uses 100 percent renewable power in the office section of the building.

The City of Beaverton was given special recognition at the PGE luncheon for its leadership role in promoting renewable energy. EasyStreet’s President and CEO, Rich Bader, appears with Beaverton Mayor Robert Drake in a 30-second TV spot that encourages Beaverton businesses and residents to sign up for the PGE wind power program. The commercial will run on various Tualatin Valley cable channels throughout August.
