Hunter 4

The first two units of the Hunter Power Plant were built in 1980; the third was built in 1983. In 2001, PacifiCorp completed initial engineering work on a fourth unit. The company submitted a partial Notice of Intent in 2003, but does not appear to have subsequently pursued the project.

On Jan. 18, 2007, the Oregon Public Utility Commission ruled that PacifiCorp had failed to prove a need for Hunter Unit 4. PacifiCorp has not mentioned Hunter Unit 4 in any filings with the state in the past eighteen months; the project appears to be defunct.
