CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Hood River Service Restoration (in millions) In late December 2020, NW Natural restored service to customers in Hood River, Oregon, and White Salmon, Washington, after the largest outage the company experienced in 65 years. Service was disrupted to about 5,500 customers when a vehicle crashed into a Williams Northwest Pipeline facility that delivers gas to NW Natural’s system. To respond as quickly as possible, we enlisted help from utilities in several states through a mutual assistance agreement. Social Justice In 2020, we were reminded that we still have a long way to go to achieve social justice in our nation, our communities and our workplaces. As a company, we have stated publicly that we do not tolerate racism in any form.

  • Advanced Manufacturing Labor Market Report 2018
    ADVANCED MANUFACTURING LABOR MARKET REPORT 2018 THE COLUMBIA-WILLAMETTE WORKFORCE COLLABORATIVE Working together to support and develop regional talent. In 2016, the Columbia-Willamette Workforce Collaborative (CWWC) published its first data report about the Advanced Manufacturing industry. The 2016 report affirmed Advanced Manufacturing as a high growth industry in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area and led the Collaborative to revise the 2014 Manufacturing Workforce Plan to establish new goals for 2016-2018. Since the 2016 report, Advanced Manufacturing has added over 3,000 jobs, reaching some of the fastest growth rates for the sector in the 21st century. The impressive growth in recent years has spurred sector employment past pre-recession levels. A broad array of occupations experience considerable demand in Advanced Manufacturing, including engineers, machinists, managers, quality assurance techs, truck drivers, and software developers. The jobs being added in the Manufacturing industry are high wage, averaging nearly $22 per hour. Demand, however, far-outpaces the current available skilled workforce in the region. Advanced Manufacturing represents one of the most demographically diverse sectors in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area. Age, however, remains a major concern for employers— nearly one-in-four of the sector’s workforce is 55 or older and set to retire in the next decade. While job growth is expected to slow over the next decade, looming retirements and career changes mean that an estimated 94,000 job openings will exist through 2027. Utilizing the labor market information found in this data report, the CWWC held a series of convenings with industry and stakeholders to again update the Manufacturing Workforce Plan and create new goals for 2019-2021.
