Explore how Timberline Lodge enhances the experience for ski enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers with a durable and user-friendly EV charging solution.
For Timberline Lodge, a globally renowned resort and ski park located deep within Mt. Hood National Forest, achieving a balance between innovation and preservation presents a challenging but essential feat.Â
Known for its rich history, top-tier ski slopes, biking courses, hiking trails, and breathtaking scenery – the park offers a sacred place for adventurers flocking to the Pacific Northwest to have a second-to-none outdoor experience.
But in order preserve these sacred grounds and its residing community members, it’s critical that Timberline embraces sustainability investments that contribute to a sustainable future without tarnishing the park’s historic value and visitor experiences.
This is where our team at PEC came in — helping to deploy a durable EV Charging solution that can stand the mountain elements, offer a valuable visitor amenity, and contribute to our transition to an electric future.
Timberline Lodge’s decision to proceed with their EV project was influenced by the substantial incentives and rebates uncovered by PEC’s dedicated incentives team. Collaborating closely with PGE and ODOT, our experts identified and secured these financial benefits, covering 80% of the total project cost.
This meticulous effort provided Timberline Lodge with the assurance and motivation to confidently move forward with their EV project.
The durability of EV chargers posed concerns due to the challenging mountain environment and the need to maintain functionality amidst harsh weather conditions. However, the EV charging solution from PEC emerged as an innovative solution, guiding Timberline towards an electrified future while preserving its heritage.
We closely partnered with Timberline sustainability, maintenance, and operational teams to clarify objectives, establish a revenue model, assess site infrastructure, and tailor a charging solution to their needs.
Challenges Timberline Lodge was facing:
“At 6,000 feet, we’re surrounded by big trees and we’re in a harsh environment. I did not believe these things could hold up on the side of a mountain.”
