NW Natural, an Oregon gas utility and part of Northwest Natural Holding Company (NYSE: NWN), disclosed its 2025 renewable natural gas (RNG) purchase amount at 3.35% of total natural gas delivered to customers, up from 2024 levels, according to its annual RNG report filed with the Oregon Public Utilities Commission.

The company has secured contracts for 4% RNG in 2026 and is targeting a further increase in 2027.

"RNG can and will be a big part of emissions reductions efforts in Oregon," said Chris Kroeker of NW Natural. "Even with the end of some projects, we have been able to increase our RNG volumes again this year while keeping an eye on affordability. We're especially pleased about our first volumes purchased from an Oregon producer this year."

NW Natural serves approximately 2 million people across more than 140 communities in Oregon and Southwest Washington through more than 810,000 meters.
