Pendleton has been awarded over $2.5 million for renewable energy projects, comprising a $1 million state grant for a 500-kilowatt battery energy storage system at the Byers Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Site and $1.5 million in federal funding for wind turbines and micro-hydropower at the Resource Recovery Facility. The city also received $70,000 for energy audits of the Convention Center and City Hall.

These initiatives aim to enhance energy efficiency and long-term community resilience. Pendleton is collaborating with Ameresco for the implementation of these projects.
